The Swan! September 11/08

At mid lake.
the morning mist
shapeless at first
gently transforming
a shadow against the morning sun

A Swan gracefully circles
Creating gentle waves
To my amazement out the remaining mist
A companion, the sun slowly rises
As they gently greet, a caress.

A dance, circling one another.
Slow, romantic, an ache for more.
A timeless feel, yet the sun still rises.
As they head off in the distance.
only remaining the trailing gentle waves.
