Blue Heron
written by: Charlie Bottle
Widespan ideas alight gracefully,
scarcely making a splash,
so as not to disturb reflections.
Shimmering, streaming, silently
arriving at nested thoughts,
to flesh out finished forms.
Strengthening, wings of thought
to take flight, fly long distances,
to whims of changing, climes, cases.
Inherent within its consciousness,
live ideas, thoughts, likelihoods,
waiting to take flights to great heights.
Alighting, gracefully on marshes,
to give birth to inspiration,
among, migrating flocks,
of red, white, and blue dreamers.
Charlie Bottle's passion is poetry. He has lived on three continents, speaks five languages and loves different cultures, people, music and food. He believes that "Poetry uses the economy of words to express the essence of our humanity." It is this magical use of brevity to express the profound that drew him to poetry. While his professional and personal life has pulled him in different directions, He continues in his discipleship of the craft and writes whenever the muse moves him. While English is his second language it is the language in which he lives, breathes, thinks and writes poetry.
