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
