Black Swans

The evening wind is lifting the lake's waters into grey waves
On which are dancing the angled rays of the crouching sun 
Two black swans together 
Plough the waves towards their night time hiding place
They have each other
And tomorrow and perhaps many tomorrows more they will have each other
And perhaps many cygnets will busy their lives
One day, there is no doubt
one will be gone and there will be one

I've really been enjoying your story your characters and storytelling are fantastic. Honestly, I think it would work incredibly well as a manga or webtoon and could help you reach an even bigger audience. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il: [email protected] inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
