Listen to poem:
The lake glistened, calm with reflection its silence so overwhelming and disturbing you could hear your own heart miss a beat. The silence deafening. The lake quell, cast a spell drawing out the puss of bother and blather that cluttered and rocked your life. Dross shed as jetsam. Suddenly swans appeared, with necks folded over tucked into wings on floating sleeping bodies propelled by gossamer tuffs of wind. Wakes of swans making willy-nilly scribbles on the lake. The mist rose, spread and drifted over the lake, shrouding the slumbering swans away. Then the suddenly swans were gone.
