Swan Lake

The sunlight danced upon the lake
Each ripple lapping to the tune
Soft harmonies the mind reflects
Of other songs that end too soon
Upon Odette the spell was cast
To glide by day a swan in form
On magic lake from mother’s tears
Until the night beauty adorns
The Swan Queen now in gown so white
Siegfried entranced her love pursues
They dance away this night in love
Odile’s disguise true love to lose
Into the depths the spell to break
To love in death, no more heartache

Tragic love, but true love nonetheless . . .

The only thing I can find wrong with this is that I didn't write it.
You are truly a talented poet and I look forward to reading more of your words.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "WHAT A RIDE
