the swan

dancing with love's reflection

you danced in circles

on autumn’s

shadow-kissed waters

gazing mindfully

at your own reflection

diving deeper in

to the magic of you

others more outward-sighted

followed some unknown purpose

perhaps some other’s dream

while you chose

to dance with yourself

full of grace you flew

water bound to this earth

an other's moment eludes you

the haunted present

of fear’s refrain

across the land

through the waters

beyond humanity’s road

the path to confrontation

a defensive life’s

singular purpose

to protect

and you there

dancing with

love’s reflection

alone

without apology

you are just as you are

would that I

were truly

the swan
