The only black swan on the Lake

She swam so beautifully captivating 
the sky mesmerizing the rivers 
edge she panders about with such 
grace owning her own dreams she 
caters to fulfillment honored by 
her beauty moving with strength 
confidence as on lookers watch her 
sun bathe in her blackness adorned 
by flaws made her even more 
brilliant this wondrous creature 
before us raved in the glory of 
self assurance a masterpiece of 
essence created by God as she swam 
over the gleaming pond bowing her 
head beneath cool waters shaking off her 
tail feathers the mere wonder revealed
