Love it returns

By the way why this heron is walking in a slow motion
Slowly looking like a lapwing playing hopscotch
Gossmer’s silver slides a beetle
Life isn’t easy, walk carefully
I wish to learn the concentration and meditation
Of a kingfisher or a kestrel levitating long in the sky,
Unperturbed it observes
And it goes from the beak into the mouth
Oh! The sheep gazing at the blue sea
How effortlessly water parts with my feet
What an open arm welcome!
Birds, tell me, what joy in this craziness
In gliding and sliding,
In dancing and fluttering wings
The twilight sky wears an enchanting dress
Meanwhile, the mountain sips the sun slowly
Is it for the love it returns?
