UNDER THE ICE

On the frozen pond...

Gliding on blades...

Moving so freely and with so much grace...

Never to stumble never to fall...

Same time everyday he waits anxiously for her to appear...

Beautiful swan she reminds him of...

He watches as if she is his favorite show...

Too shy he never speaks...

Swallowing his pride he decides this has to be the day...

Slowly coming out from his hiding place...

He walks out on the ice meeting her for the first introduction...

She is taken aback, but never loses he footing...

Hello is exchanged...

She has many questions...

He stands nervously in front of her...

Answers can wait she thought to herself...

He reached for her hand to give it a soft and tender kiss...

Suddenly, with the sound of a crack...

The ice opened up and together they went under...

Looking wide eyed at each other...

Never letting go...

They smiled...

Together they died an admirer and the beautiful swan...

Hugs...
