Kornelia Birch Poet Prose Poetry

The Nautic Art of Letting Go

By the side of the Sea 
She gives me glimpses 

 of distance lost 
Of figures dancing 
upon mirrors beyond time 
  
Through thought 
I am writing calliographic lines 
that make the water glisten 
in orbits of reflection 
  
Two white swans answer 
swimming closer towards me 
At first glance they offer me 
their compassion 
  
One by one they lower 
their ivory necks 
One sips in fresh water 
  
The other curls up 
resting its head 
upon it`s featheredness 
  
From it`s crib 
the swan 
beholds me 
  
It sails like a small 
white boat 
behind the other 
  
This moment 
(shared) 
was meant 
that way

Sunlite Wanter March 12, 2017 at 11:55 AM The other curls resting its head upon its featherdness. What a lovely picture. All of it was most enjoyable.
