Riddles to a Swan

We filter through grays, to feel reality, churning through hearts. The gate is open, for us to swim, to stream an impulse. I bless you more, such formative years, to deny abandonment. It was never that color, as beige as parents, a field of fiction. The flowers bloom, to carry smiles, the furniture of insights; where ghosts cringe, to come alive, an impression saying, “Goodbye.” I love you pure, the days to float, sitting at a heater; to play a notion, to sing for more, stranded at a guitar; but more to flight, the throes of harmony, a hydrant as a soul; where islands blend, through instrumentals, a kettle in a basement.

I love you more, from marble to gold, to unravel a mask; where Mass is held, the bread and blood, a must to transcend. We administer music, the nerve of souls, to paint the color of peace; where hell is keen, a quicksand alley, running to the fields; in which are ways, the waves of rain, the quilt of queens. I hear you more, to sail a seed, as forward as impact; whereat is life, the taste of tears, a picture as a tent.
