LITTLE EGRET (with poem) - a photo on Flickriver

            LITTLE EGRET

The beautiful egret
tho rather shy
is full of grace, 
full of elegance
full of dignity

It stands candid and alert
erect and milky white
in the grassy Longhella
surrounded by fields and hills
in water that reflects the blue sky

No wonder that 
unlike us who have little time
the ancients and the Native Indians
honoured the splendid egret
and paid homage to its presence

Like the little egret
we are a part of nature too
we too must go with the flow
be in tune with its demands
be sensitive to its needs

As for me
I'll try to be candid too
As long as I see an egret
I feel that all is not lost
I feel there is a gram of hope

GARZETTA

La bella garzetta
sebbene piuttosto timida
è pieno di grazia,
pieno di eleganza
pieno di dignità

Sta candida e vigile
eretta e bianca come il latte
nel Longhella erbosa
circondato da campi e colline
in acqua che riflette il cielo blu

Non c'è da stupirsi
a differenza di noi che abbiamo poco tempo
che gli antichi e gli indiani nativi
onoravano la splendida garzetta
e resero omaggio alla sua presenza

Come la garzetta
anche noi siamo parte della natura
anche noi dobbiamo andare con il flusso
essere in sintonia con le sue richieste
essere sensibile alle sue esigenze

Per quanto mi riguarda
cercherò anch'io di essere candido
finché vedo una garzetta
sento che non tutto è perduto
sento che c'è un grammo di speranza

SEIDENREIHER

Der schöne Seidenreiher
obwohl ziemlich schüchtern
ist voll der Gnade,
voller Eleganz
voller Würde

Er steht aufrichtig und aufmerksam
aufrecht und milchig weiss
in der grasigen Longhella
umgeben von Feldern und Hügeln
im Wasser, das den blauen Himmel reflektiert

Kein Wunder, dass
im Gegensatz zu uns, die wenig Zeit haben
die Alten und die Indianer
ehrte den herrlichen Reiher
und huldigte seiner Anwesenheit

Wie der kleine Silberreiher
wir sind auch ein Teil der Natur
auch wir müssen mit dem Strom gehen
im Einklang mit seinen Anforderungen sein
sei empfindlich auf seine Bedürfnisse

Was mich betrifft
ich werde versuchen, auch aufrichtig zu sein
solange ich einen Seidenreiher sehe
fühle ich, dass alles nicht verloren ist
Ich fühle, dass es ein Gramm Hoffnung gibt
