Caroline Cécile Delacroix Poet Rhyme

The Call of the Swan

A night so cold
Though spring has sprung
Winter so bold
Refuse to run.

Deployed my wings
Wide, gleaming white
Destiny sings
My mate to find.

Flew through showers
Blown about, caught
By strong currents
Of wind so bold.

Rested at night
By ponds and creeks
To avoid plight
Of hungry beasts.

I remember
My parents' love
Their wise lectures
The song they sung.

Yet my heart weeps
For the one I see
In all my dreams
My song won't cease.

As my Father
Found its soul mate,
My sweet Mother
So will I, one day.

I'll fear no night
I'll fear no storm
With the sun I rise
Till light's no more.

Until the day
As I follow the sun 
Above clouds of gray
The same song is sung.

For only one
Can sing the same
And I will know
That I found my mate.

The Fringe April 29, 2011 at 9:36 PM May you find your swan. My parents were married 48 years when my dad passed. I'll never know that kind of trust. Beautiful poem.

Stephen Parker April 24, 2011 at 10:29 PM Such a simple poem, but a mesage so deep, so profound! The next to last stanza is very good. We follow the light of the sun soaring above the clouds. That is the path to true love. It is an individual's journey into a blissful, enthralling world. Apart from everybody elses notions and predilections. It is true that the love we see and feel from our parents shapes our notion of true love, but we each have to chart our own course. I like poems that speak of allegorical love.
