black swan

Black swan swimming

Legs tied by string

Nused neck humming

Can no longer sing

Black swan floating

Preserving her breath

In cold dark waters

Tasting her death

Black swan stirring

Her soul in a knot

Sealed beak she dreams

A heavenly plot

Black swan drowning

In the stale abyss

Transformed and evolving

Blows a farewell kiss

Black swan dancing

Alone on the ice

White foe doth surround her

She knows not their vice

Black swan surrenders

Their presence too strong

She screams and she cries

But not for too long

Black swan escapes

The moment they seize

And flies to the heavens

Her prince doth she please

Black swan soars

To clean, pure air

No longer surrounded

But by he who doth care

For black swan and her feathers

Though soiled and old

Are beautifully woven

Laced with pure gold

Black swan lives

A quiet existence

Roaming the skies

Path of least resistance

Black swan floats

In waters of new

Soaking up sun

Like the morning dew
