Swan Maiden

Swan Maiden felt joyful, she was in an enthusiastic state. The day had started out good and then turned out great. She had transmogrified into a swan six years or so ago. Today she changed back into herself with a new glow. Being a swan had taught her patience for sure. It had given her a peek at herself more than a mirror. She knew herself better now than she ever had before. She glided in the water, barely turning it, heading for shore. Her prince charming had replaced her with another. But this was okay, because he had a dour mean mother. She found a new guy, who loved everything about her. He adored her lovely countenance, she was tender and pure.

I love swans. They are so graceful. Many years ago, I would eat my lunch on a bench by a small pond with a couple of swans. It was wonderful! Watching animals can be so relaxing. I love to stand at my window and watch the squirrels play. I toss peanuts onto the lawn to entice them. I wonder if they know about this?

They sure do! They are telling me this in a remote listening way.
