I'm a swan in a lake of riplets
Bouncing and bobbing all of my giblets
Living each day as nature injected
Gazing for love in my own reflection
Living in sunrays arched neck to heaven
Yearning to fly in any direction
Wanting and waiting for that perfect wind
Then head for the heavens or try to...
Pretend.
I want to get injected with some of that nature. Aren't those colors stunning? In northern Wisconsin, we can see loons in settings like that.
Ever notice that birds are more monogamous than we are? I don't care. let's fly...

Adorable poetry, Susan, just adorable. I think the metaphor is perfect because all species, or most of them, including humans want to fly away and seek new and bold frontiers. I mean, hell, man as walked on the moon! If THAT isn't spreading your wings I don't know what is. The human race is never still, always moving ahead. Well, at least some of us. There are those who cling to the past and try to interject it upon the world. To those idiots they think it is perfectly all right to stone a woman to death for adultery or just because someone has said she had committed that sin. Sorry, I found myself being carried away, I don't care . . .
Such a tender parable, and don't we all spend our lifes trying to find that perfect chance for us to spread our own wings...often beauty is just not enough to satisfy the soul.

I think we humans could learn many lessons from these critters who live each day as nature injected. And that is a marvelous graphic.
