4868. AS THE SWAN GLIDES SIDEWAYS

AS THE SWAN 
GLIDES SIDEWAYS
Yes, I am watching. Various things react to 
the wind; finding differences and finding the 
same. Those small ripples crease the surface, 
yet they are not my focus : I am watching 
the swan glide sideways.
-
A scene such as this amuses me, and takes
my own breath away. Would that I could
be as graceful as that, even being taken off
course by forces greater than myself. As it
is, I remained resigned to staying in place,
to watch, and not to move, or try not to.

I am watching the swan glide sideways.
