Roots for Rivers, A Young Swan

There’s a young flower, beaming with radiance, semi-
splintered. It raves sorely, ever in silence, to win for solace.

to peer reality. I climb a hex, to vet a spell, to wash in
rivers. It punctures deep, a yarn for tears, knitting lights.
You gander life, to pull a moon, soaring-star-bound; and

it, to never waver, when time spells rain? I ask, found in
fevers, speaking for tyro. Expand—my love; drift to shift
grounds, feel for calmness. Indeed, become for winds, to
traipse for garths, ever with love; and reach for more, to
stipple walls, to unlock souls; and never rush, to see for heart,
through opaque mist. I speak softly, for facts are cruel, where
want is grand; but live it safely, a latent voice, soaring wisely.
