Swan

My fearless great gig in the sky,

Such soulful femininity stops you starring,

Vulnerably accessible strength,

You are organically beautiful,

Such an undeserving generalization,

Let me define…

You are,

With a belly full of the earth’s poison,

On a beach gone black and white,

All because you have taken the colors,

Seduced them with your dance,

They bounce from your skin as solar flares,

You allow them to gently radiate your boom,

Confident in their presence,

For your energy is tangible,

They have no desire to stray,

How could they part from such glow?

I mirror their devotion,

I am committed.

More than I thought possible,

You are my coral spine,

When I close my eyes,

I see your purple everywhere,

You are in my heart, my mind and my bones,

Such a beautiful love,

I will be there soon,

You always knew before me,

Just give me time,

And we will bury the pigs together,

I don’t know how to write kind,

But you know the red dust,

You know the motorcycle drive bys,

You know never is a promise,

You know trouble,

You know Floyd,

You know me,

You know best.

As you grow, you twist and turn,

Like smoke that never dissipates,

Woman, it’s time,

Shake your way to the top of the world,

and swan dive the depths of the sea,

I trust you will,

I know you will,

I know you will because I will (be there) too.
