The Swan

White and pure
Light and soft
The swan shows strength
As launched aloft

Gliding smooth
Across the lake
Majestic king
Or disguised fake

He swims so gently
Yet below sight
The propulsion needed
Take all his might. 

Analogous  with calm
And chaos in equal measure
The swan hoodwinks us all
In his apparent pace of leisure.
