Elegance of a Swan Waterfall rains liquid sunshine into a pool Grotto breathes drafts of mossy scent Like a Bolshoi ballerina for the brave at heart Sans toe shoes, she steps on nature’s stage Not a wisp of garb to secret her grace away And waltzes to the Blue Danube Of her Viennese heart She is Giselle in a bold ballet But recast by a renegade librettist Into the elegance of a swan Who assumes the form of a woman She skirts herself in a tutu With a curtsy and a As forest people crest the boulders below

I'm reminded of Elton John's song "Tiny Dancer." Beautiful. Also comes to mind old antique jewelry boxes, the kind that had wind-up dancing dolls on top that spun to music.

Michael the woman who inspired this was a stellar person. She was my late former wife who has passed on. This was based on a true life experience in a nature preserve. Glad you enjoyed my friend.

Rick, this was embellished with the literary references but was based on real-life experience with my former late wife. So glad it read like a fantasy my friend. That is high praise.

Cat, this story was based on a dance my former now late wife did for me at a waterfall in a nature preserve years ago. She was trained in modern dance in New York and her dances were always spiritual and beautiful. Glad you enjoyed my friend. John
