in the indigo skies
above the peaceful lake
flew an alabaster swan
she coursed a furrow
through the thermal air
her wings fluttering
in graceful decorum
as eve shadows
fell upon the lake
she rested neath
a weeping willow's branch
for there
she'd be enfolded
in the moon's luminous light
as the stars did sprinkle
their glinting sparkles
over the lake's glass surface
as the break of the morrow's
brilliant blue sight
came
her wings did rise
to take of flight again
