The egret wades in the water
cooling itself on a warm day
drawn to its magnetic reflection
beautiful in every way
The water is still
a slight breeze in the air
holding a camera
it is hard not to stare
The elegance of the egret
with tall regal features
in tune with the environment
such a beautiful creature
The bird moves so eloquently
not a care in the world
slowly moving in the water
causing small ripples to swirl
Calmness in the landscape
soothing to my soul
becoming one with nature
such an aspiring goal
The spell is broken
the egret moves away
returning to the present
continuing with the day
Nature is magnetic
drawing us in to the story
nourishing to our souls
a piece of God’s glory

I really enjoyed this, especially your half-rhymes, like egret/features/environment. Beautiful!
Thank you. Thanks for reading.
I am not sure why water birds seem to be more streamlined and graceful than many regular birds but they are.

I agree. Water birds are more graceful. They are especially fun to watch land in the water. Thanks for reading.
