Watch me faltering legs churning
The taste of autumn breeze on my tongue
Arms reaching for the sky, yearning to embrace the clouds
Soundlessly crying my frustration , ardently ignoring the pain
Eyes locked on that crisp blue sky
That these stricken wings shall never of taste again
All things to have known you've slain me, Swan
These tiresome triads to the ends of the earth
To the deepest darkest depths of some primeval sea
Guided by the stars and moon and inherent earthly energy
This course unchanged through aeons of birth and death summer and winter
Here, then There
Eyes locked on that crisp blue sky
That these stricken wings shall never of taste again
All things to have known you've slain me, Swan
Silently I gather you in my arms, chasing away the noble hound
Your graceful wings drip crystal tears
And those sky born eyes are closed to this world
To the pain and sorrow I have afflicted on you
beautiful,
Beautiful Swan
