SWAN LAKE - A SPIRIT-TALE OF TRANSFORMATION
http://allpoetry.com/poem/2702608
Little Swan flew through the Dreamtime by chance
Suddenly meeting a swirling Black Hole
Scared and with awe at this void she would glance
Wondering ‘bout this Black Hole’s sacred role
Dragonfly happened to come flying by
Swan-Princess stopped him to ask for the way
Pure curiosity - yet she was shy
What was the role that this Black Hole did play ?
“I am Illusion’s Great Guardian, you see ?
This is the door to a different plane
Consciousness waits for the one who is free
Yet, right to enter, you first have to gain !”
“How do I earn it ?”, asked Swan with some doubt
“You must surrender to Great Spirit’s Plan
Never to change what your future’s about
Don’t fight the current, just flow, if you can !”
Black little duckling agreed to the deal
Nothing to lose, yet a lot was to gain
And with much trust and a portion of zeal
Swan-Princess entered a different plane
Dragonfly started to spin Magic’s wheel
Breaking Illusion of limited lake
Boundaries shifted while whirlpool surreal
Swallowed up Swanee like furious snake
After some time, Lady Swan reappeared
White and long-necked, what a view to behold !
All of her doubts and her fears disappeared
Many great qualities still to unfold
These were the gifts, Swan received through her faith
Trusting the ways of the Great Spirit’s Plans
Now she was blessed with abundance and grace
Happily under the Rainbow to dance

enjoy !

what an inspiring contestand I will try my very best to see what Muse has to say to this if I can wake her as well as find the time.If not, I will be "the mute swan"
no words, but thoughts will fly across these pages. Just saw upon quick look to your page "Deutsch"? Ich kann auch noch ein bisschen Deutsch lesen und sprechen. Ich bin in Luxemburg geboren und aufgewachsen. Und jetzt weiss ich auch warum der Name Marion und maa mir so bekannt vorgekommen ist. Ich weiss dass ich schon manchmal was gelesen habe , aber das ist es nicht. Wir haben einen gemeinsamen Freund hier der mir gesagt hat er wuerde nicht laenger hierbleiben, bloss einer Freundin manchmal schreiben. Und Du bisst die Freundin von der er gesprochen hat. Zu der Zeit hat der Name mir aber nicht so viel gesagt, und jetzt erkenne ich ihn. Ungluecklicher Weise ist der Freund nicht mehr in Kontakt mit mir , aber ich glaub nicht dass wir Feinde sind. Ich behalte immer Freunde im Herzen , auch wenn wir Kontakt verlieren durch egal was
Und jetzt hab ich genug "gequatscht" und bald faengt mein Tag hier an,
gros bisou and soulsparkles,
reenie aka Jeanne

hahaha, now we can use secret codes to communicate, between french and german ... too cool
aha, luxembourg ! I've still got one of my bank-accounts there, but that's the only relationship I had with this country ... until I met jeanne
have a wonderful day,
soul-sister marion
ps. by the way, for anyone reading this message and getting excited about my luxembourgeous bank-account : there are only peanuts in it !!!

what a lovely, special contest!
I wish all the very best of luck and I wish you, Maa some wondrous reading.
-
thank you for hosting and for the lovely green cup... why do you call them honey trophies?
-
-
just because "honey" is shorter (and sounds sweeter) than "honourable mention" ...
-
-
ah, that's cute. I thought maybe there was some connection to putting honey in a green jar in France or something.

The swan is a wonderful teacher to me.

congratulations to all and thank you soooo much for the gold award, as well as for hosting this ever so inspirational contest. I was hoping you would enjoy the entry , but I did not expect to win. You are "paramahamsa" [I am convinced of that]
