Love Poem: Swans Mate For Life

Swans Mate For Life

Because it's said of some sweet spice 
A sly and wise old cook Ma Nature
Slipped into their feathery brew
  
While you and I, big-brained creatures 
That we are – clumsy fools
Ignore cell signals

Breaking each others hearts 
And holy rules, breaking each other’s 
Wings and dreams of flight

Instinct informs these poets of the air
The gift of flight encoded in their genes
They find each other – rare attracting rare.
