Upon the lakes they do swim gliding so effortlessly These species of graceful waterfowl the largest of anatidae family In their beautiful pure white plumage with elegant long curved necks Blunted beaks and big webbed feet living together by water's edge These magnificent creatures of the waters are a sign of purity and love Remind us of the blessings in our relationships a gift from heaven above If all goes well in there pairing they will stay together for rest of their life’s When they glide upon the waters of our awareness they bring us deep insight These birds of Mother Nature they’re exquisite and unique Bearing exotic waves of beauty to our dreams as we do sleep They swim around in our divine mind adding colours of delight Encouraging us to spread our wings and take our glorious flight Courting occurs on rivers and lakes throughout the known world Whilst they live on plant life tiny fish and scattered bread as well You might see them duck their heads as they feed upon their foods But you better beware of their aggression whilst they protect their broods The elegance of these myterious birds are displayed in a ballet dancer Dancing into our emotions with their romantic artisticpower Transforming our souls with delightful moves bringing us into harmony With a brilliant performance of balance, control and technical flexibility The beautiful dying swan pours its heart out as death draws near Greeting this with an exceptional beautiful ending balladeer Its modulated voice singing the swan-song of death so sweet This harmonious sound can be heard as its last creative piece The crown retain the ownership to all unmarked mute swans A ceremony takes place once a year and lasts for five days long Swan upping is a tradition dated back to the twelfth century Markers row up and down the rivers paying tribute to the Queen In England they’re a protected species and owned by Her Majesty The wing spans on these wonderful birds can extent to several feet These sacred aquatic birds male and female cobs and pens Those little cygnets and swanlings on a swan lake that never ends © Copyright KC.Leake 8th December 2014 All Rights Reserved
