Swan Life

Drifting slowly
effortlessly
gliding 
on crystal clear. 
They have all day
not a seeming care
they join once
twice 
a well known dance
of eternity promised.
But,
their elegance belie
their wildness concealed
beneath white apparel.

Now,
Suddenly rising
powerful
imposing 
their will 
wings arched explosively -
you dare not go near.

Then,
gently lowered
again in crystal clear
they wait,
ready,
expectant.
