Becoming Elegant

Bashing and defacing articulate less
when we are proficient to express

As a cygnet being assailed by a heron
we remain quite emotionally barren

We leave our nest never to return to it
aghast if we didn't could might be bit

Pursuing rations in the unknown colossal
hoping to be saved by an alarmed apostle

We'll grow to be a majestic radiant pawn
charge wherein uncharted territory dawn

Astute to achieve amplitude for to appease
while bodies bend to worthy on our knees

No matter who we are, our life unfurls like a flower in bloom. Elegance emanates from the way we behave and how we deal in relation to others. ~ Regards // paul
