Lightly and gracefully, you dance

far away on the lake

Delighted and enchanted, I watch

you dance towards me

 

Lovely, you look, out of water

Shaking feathers with ease

you stretch your legs lazily but with elegance, and

Gently, I touch your soft wings

 

Close to each other, we sit, with June breezes, and

the sun blessing warmly

When I take leave unwillingly

Reluctant to part, you follow me

 

I sit down again, and

Sweetly, we nap together

Opening my eyes to see you enjoy your lunch

I whisper goodbye to the wind, and

Do not dare to turn my head, even once

 

Patiently, you wait, besides the dam

Overly joyed, I see you, from a bridge

Unhesitant, are your steps, and

Tender, your kisses

 

Broken, though

is my heart as I watch

Painfully, you sing, a swan song

with a damaged foot

 

Desperately, I look for you

over every corner along the river

Hopeless, I run to Humane Society of Huron Valley

only find homeless cats and dogs in the shelters

 

Nervously, I dial the number, of

the turtle man, then the duck lady

Finally, relieved

after I hear her kind voice

 

However, the first time, I regret

I am not rich

How much I want to take you home

if I had a house on the waterfront

 

Lightly, you go, as lightly as you've come

Take chrysanthemums with you leaving clouds

Quietly, you dance, now, in my mind

Silence is the song I sing today at the water edge
