Sleeping Swan
On this crisp sunny morning
just as the mist clears away
a sleepy swan slowly wakes
enveloped in her white wings
protected from the cold night
an orange beak peeping through
this bird is an awesome sight
a black beady eye watching
so aware of life around
waiting for the time to swim
as she moves without a sound
raising its head to the sky
stretching her wings out wide
slipping into the waters
no longer needs to sleep and hide
