SWANS

The daylight meanders
over the edge becoming night
the swans nestle into
their marshy nests
the wind gently ruffling
their feathers where they glow
in the moonlight
creating night time reflections
so subtle to the eye
as the stars shine on one by one
they nestle their heads
beneath their wings
and fall asleep to the soft
rhythm of the ocean
radiant clouds of white
on the horizon
