Swan lake

Every morning at dawn
When there's a nightly essence still
I glance out my window pane
To behold the most charming grace

I saw them with peaceful wings
With keen empty eyes
I feel their silent cries
Their lament and joys in the still dawning sky

The ghostly creatures have captivated
My soul, my heart and my being
Every flutter of wings in the wonder silence
Keeps my mind and heart in constant thunder

The longing has been kept in consistency
To be like them and roam the silvery waters free
To bathe in the illusory illumination
Of the moon with the seraphic gleam

But longings of the heart may disappoint me
For I could never be a soul and body
Of a lightweight keenly transcendental body
down in the the ethereal Swan lake as I wish to be

    Beautiful idea! I think you have presented this very well, and I love the concept and imagery...double check your spelling, and content. You used has rather than have in one line, and I don't think you need the in front of every, but other than that...very lovely indeed! Thanks for your entry!
