Suddenly Swans

Listless as a hazy morn a cold and colorless scene hides beneath gray skies that wilt beneath moody clouds and musty brown leaves. Lazy river flows in sluggish slow motion random debris drags at its heels chill air freezes both mind and soul when...suddenly swans! Regal white visions of splendor appear gliding side by side, swimming languidly lovely, long necks raise high with fanfare wings neatly tucked in. Effortlessly they glide with silky serenity every movement leaves a lovely, rippling wake like watery, abstract art. Such glorious, stately birds uplift the spirit a pure scene wrought from heaven itself a foretaste of all things eternal. Written on 4/10/2019
