The White Cross

 

The pure whiteness

of  the swans' feathers

displays pure elegance.



Like blossoming 

clouds of cumulus drifting

on a still water lake.



The s-curved neck,

flexible, arching;

a smooth, supple rope.




Then swimming with nobility,

its royal wings raised like sails

into a vessel of grace.



And after it has

climbed the sky,

behold the white cross



passing through 

your present life;

an image of resurrection.
