A Walk In the Park

As I went strolling through the park
So blissful, so serene,
I was awestruck, stopped in my tracks
By the most enchanting scene!

Beneath the draping curtain
Of a Willow Tree's green
Lay a graceful pair of Swans
Right next to the stream!

To add to my enjoyment,
Their signets tottered near!
They ruffled their little feathers
In response to a sudden gust of air.

It truly was romantic.
It really made my day!
I was captured by this moment
And my worries flew away!

Thank you Smita. They are such beautiful creatures and they seem to make you feel at peace. Swans and willow trees.. what better combo could one wish for? X

People watching TV have forgotten how good it is for their physical well-being to be out and about for such sights. Well said!

Hi Rico, thank you for your uplifting comment. I had a lot on my mind during that walk and for that brief moment seeing the swans, the worries seemed to melt away. Such moments are special and well worth documenting in the form of poetry.
