The Kingfisher

River current and morning dew
a turquoise star of wildflower
green and electric blue,
through deep river pools
dipped in rainbow hues.

Amongst winter´s drab death
of broken reeds,
rises spring´s starburst blue flower
upon the wilting Willow trees,
vibrant beauty of the air
born of shivering grass and flower blooms,
to kiss the lonely pools
in grand palaces of solitude.

Adorning spring´s tranquil tears
in a gentle rush of sovereign
wet sunlight and royal blue.
