Mirrored Beauty

Beauty that glides across a mirror
graceful and serene as she goes
slowly swimming elegantly
a picture of calmness that shows

Just beneath the waters surface
all is unseen frantic action
with feet like pistons pounding
allowing such graceful motion

Their long slender necks high up high
orange beaks and black eyes so bright
wings folded neatly towards their tail
shimmering white in the evening light

Feathers preened to perfection
this water`s home to great treasures
floating across so serenely
awesome to watch these great creatures
