Signs

When we were brash of heart and full of play,
embracing by the lake, svelte swans glided
close to shore. Sensual scenes confided
in earthy words, with kinky toys held sway -

Myth’s lovers shrugged off portents of bleak fate:
Leda’s raunchy trysts with Swan’s beak untrue!
We missed the relished lane that leads anew
to fancied nuptial chains we claimed could wait.

Today I brawl beside the loathsome lake
and trace a humbled heart with bloodstone dew
on mirrored heavens… - entranced, hope renews,
but drifts embodied in the knave swans’ wake.

Old sylphine chants inform my soul that you
in faith will not reverse my contrite state.

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.


"There is no life higher than the grasstops
Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind
Pours by like destiny, bending
Everything in one direction."

Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.
