The Swan

shallow peaks mark the threshold
 memories, visions & desire
 a passion to become something
 one has a desire for life

 then the storms come
 with what we do with are time today
 will be reflected throughout all eternity
 to soar as an eagle

 look at the edge of a lake
 to see the swan
 dazzling in appearance
 shaped by the fabric of nature's beckoning call

 as life unfold when you are young
 the not knowing where you belong
 in time we confide in the power that be
 some live in the land of make believe

 what quest is what we are to achieve
 to look at the swan with it's beautiful feathers
 colors of visualization in the light
 never relent to ever give p the fight in life

 from birth to death we are headed in it's conquest
 one must surely live to pass the test
 laughs, light, love & sorrow
 will there be hope for us have to wait until tomorrow

 the swan sits gazing into the water
 will gather it's senses & not falter
 nature's beckoning call
 to paint a picture of your life
