Couriers

swans upon a glassy lake
at dawn
drift in silent wonder,
leave a gentle wake,
lightly

aimless, seemingly lost
random mists
gods in royal robes,
keepers of grace,
splendor

one, two they stroke
hidden
paddling in white gowns,
stately ambassadors,
celebrities

spread wings open
fly
love taken its time,
departs,
vanish
