Elegant 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 frantic unseen action

with feet like pistons paddling

allowing such graceful motion

long slender necks held up high

orange beaks, black eyes so bright

wings folded back towards their tail

shimmering white in bright sunlight

feathers preened to perfection

this place holds to great treasures

floating across so serenely

watching such awesome creatures
