Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The red heron takes flight
Almost silently
No-one watches
Lights flicker on the display
It ploughs onward
Furrows a brow
That holds down a heart
Closer now,
Down through the valley
And over the lake
Below children sleep
Believing they??ll wake
Retreated from himself
To a single line of thought
The man at the stick
Is calm, calm like ice
A pin withdraws
From not a bomb, a device
And there??s falling
Men in suits hold their breath
Awaiting news of the shadow
The shadow of death
