Whispers Of A Swan

From a distance my eyes follow Your snowy, white beauty As you float carelessly along The river in solace and peace My ears detect marvelous rhythms Within the feathers of your wings Gently flowing to the beat Of the wind’s soulful melody Boldly you break away From the shackles of captivity In the eye of the sunset You raise your head with power You escape the night in A swift adventure of rebellion Whilst singing in elevated chirps To the taste of newfound freedom The sweet smell of nature Strokes your beak The stars glow in celebration Because you surpassed The greatest obstacle By Glenn McCrary © 2011 (All rights reserved)
