Return To Life

Swan, wholly white, like frost,
Sits still on the black water, ominous
Waves that surround him
Lapping soothingly, threatening.
He bows down to submerge his head,
Count 1, 2, 3 he could be drowning, dead.
I imagine him dying slowly
But he re-surfaces without stain,
To keep on living again.
