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.

Peenie Wallie

I spread my bioluminescence self
you cannot contain me.

You see me before you can scent me
your reward is my presence.

I dim for no one
I am second to none.

Against your will
you are drawn to me

I light your way to see
your own destiny.

Small axe cut down big tree
that's me

On my wings you will be free.
