...a swan song

...hello dear ones!

today I was cleaning the glass mirrors
in my living room and
I am feeling a little...
well,
uuummmmm ~
reflective!
sooooo, 
 I thought I would share a few pictures
and thoughts about
my vintage paper, swan adornment.


she resides on top of my mirrored armoire...

I constructed her from pages of vintage poetry books,
~ words of beauty for the heart ~
and vintage sheets of music,
~ notes to resonate within your soul ~
and of course a bit of paper lace and
clear vintage glass glitter for the tips

and although she is made out of paper,
she quietly reminds me to be graceful as I glide along  life


a most elegant creature is she...
  

one to be admired

 ~

a swan song
by me

elegance and beauty
gracefulness and poise,

poetry in motion
without one word,
 a sound,
or a noise...

you are covered in loveliness
always finest in show

and to watch you glide along so effortlessly,
letting all the others know

that you are a special one
chosen indeed,
ethereal in your motions
to which we should heed,

and ponder for a moment
before your vision slips away,

the gift that has been given

~ life ~ 

and in everyday,

we should move about gracefully
with a song in our hearts
and not squander it away,


for today
is a day,
that the Lord has made!

~

thank you for indulging my poetic heart today!
