The Swan - Description

The Swan

The swan lies carefully on the water, her feathers sparkling delightfully in the sunlight, touched by an angel. Her beautiful neck, stretched up high reaching for the sky. She feels exhausted from the day watching the bright city far beyond her. Cars dash across the city.  Cautiously tired.

Dark shady trees stare,  jealous of her beauty. Her shadow follows her across the lake.  Fish, scared of her, flee in the distance, running faster than the wind.

Wandering around in the wonderful, wistful lake, the swan’s eyes, dark as her shadow, look patiently around her. She watches the city’s flashing lights, day by night, waiting for somebody to visit. Alone.

Cloud’s gratefully brighten her pathway. The swan feels her warm heart beat. Scared. No one to talk to, she silently swims through the water.

Does anyone care about me?
