swan song

i know the heavy ballast
of feeling out of step
with your companions,
those who would try
to tame your wildness
and make of you a pet
they do not understand
that you have been infected
with the desire to see
the beauty in all things
-the oyster and the pearl-
or how, like the swan,
you are able to drink
only the milk from a
saucer-full diluted with water
i know it isn't easy, but persevere
in learning to sing your own song

I feel these words within my soul..and like swan, whose energy can take us into the inbetween spaces, the art is both earthly and magical.
