Swan Song

A Poem by MsMermaid

Nature and Prayers

Swan Song

One misty morn
A golden light
Engulfs two silver swans.
The river trees are witness
To their silent swim at dawn.

Softly mist
And golden rays
Caress each silver feather
Gliding in cool waters
Oblivious of the weather.

That misty morn
Of golden light
I came to cry and pray.
I saw the swans
Lift up in flight
Trumpeting away.

One swan looked back
And in that moment
I felt a little shiver
As if the swan was saying
"Your prayers I will deliver."
