The swallow

 "THE SWALLOW" Ann June 2010.

 

The Swallow

its wings outspread,

a fan so beautiful, 

to waft a breeze high in the sky,

to ripple clouds, 

to paint with sweeping shapes, 

the dotted pigments of magic

in its path, 

darting this way, that, 

his tiny morsels, flies, 

what wild dances in the blue, 

what designs, what flight, 

and with their dance our spirits fly, 

in free air,

vacant, untamed,

as in a dream we too can dart, 

and float the air unseen, 

and seem to gain an insight, 

entrance to a paradise, 

a thought so fine, 

projected, 

near divine.
