White Swans

white swans
gliding over still waters
while sun
glints
laughingly off each languid movement
made by the noisy group

they cackle amongst themselves
enjoying the comraderie
while
their nether regions
wave
gleefully in the misty morning
as they dip
for food

I watch them with a child's eyes
which grow wider as
the swans take flight overhead
and I am reminded
how grateful I am
for as the swans find their freedom within azure skies
so I find my freedom
within.

This is so absolutly beautifull. The azure skies is absoultly such a peacefull stanza. You have written this with much imagery that makes the reader actually seeing the swans... Very picturesque Bonnie Collins
