In a place without a home, I met an Amazon Swan
I regret she can't stay
For as long as she'll be gone
If they say she aint special
Lies will stop after gin
Three years she slipped by me
Don't know how she blends in
Her smile's as consuming, as her body is long
Dark-olive skin
Inspiration of song
Like vines clutching hard around the swamp's tallest tree
Nature is her love
It keeps her clean, always free
Everyday she walks, the world's a little bit better
But to know her takes time
Like the threads on her sweater
Today is no exception
But I need to point out
She turned 22 and she's going all out
By all out I mean, a single day from her books
Always fishing for knowledge
Can't stop tying those hooks
Those who try to claim her, cross the lines that they've drawn
Don't they know you can't cage
The Amazon Swan
