Suddenly Swans
A quiescent misty lake in center of hillock,
surrounded in soundless old oak trees.
Sheen of mercury looks ethereal in sunbeam,
blue headed kingfishers, in sly glances skim.
silvery air sparkling in splash of wildflowers,
a frescoed terrain painted in élan,..
but happy faces never make life
smile is heavenly only with sad eyes
Suddenly....
wrapped in snowwhite glossy feathers
white blossoms glide in majestic drift.
across motionless ripples of clear stream
curved necks entwined in heart shapes
mute love sing their last farewell song
Swans....
Cygnets of myth
Created by man
to see pain,... listen to pain
and still admire the death of beauty.
