Agility

Arms outstretched, she glides like whispered air, Gossamer dreams sewn in each silent spin. In her stillness, storms of feeling flare, Lilting through Tchaikovsky's aching hymn. Ivory wings, her body bends, then flies, Tears in the toes, yet poise in every part— Yearning swan, both prisoner and art. An acrostic on boy: Born with wonder in his bright, bold eyes, Over hills he dreams to run and rise, Yearning for truth beneath open skies.

A graceful and beautifully agile bird, the swan is a sight worth seeing. Her motions and stance exude an air of refined grace. Seeing her float gracefully in the air is awe-inspiring. An excellent poem

Swan is such a beautiful bird... a bird of agility. There is so much of elegance in her poise and movements. Her gliding over water is a such a magnificent sight to view. Beautiful poem.
