DANCE OF THE SWAN

I sat, on a windy day, by a lake
Contemplating the world’s crazy charade
When a swan softly sailed into view

I sat, and I could only gaze
At its wondrous beauty and sublime grace
Gliding, as wind on water blew

O gentle bird, chaste and white
In water you’ll always delight
On earth your gait is a dance
To behold is to be in a trance
In air you rise like a master
Your freedom fills us with wonder

You dance for joy for all to see
I see, dreaming the dance is for me

[inspired by Jyotsna's music]
