The Swans Upon The Sea
The swans upon the sea ,
The apparent abstract ,
Like the tidal flash ,
Resumes and resumes ,
The Swans come and go ,
Taste ,feel and know ,
Some fragments of the sea and shore ,
The live in pride ,as groom and bride ,
And on magical time ride .
Souls they are ,as stars afar ,
But little they feel the Third will ,
Like bubbles the disappear ,
Quitting their allotted deals .
