Flight of the Black Swan
They say you were inevitable
Something to be feared,
A force described as formidable
Upon reflection it was clear
A black swan among the white few
The one beauty a sole outlier
Flammes sombres et le feu
Amidst the snow a fire
From the chaos you give order
While in the darkness light
Where reason and love borders
You draw your strength for flight
To those who understand and stay
The rest see as unexpected,
Tu es mon viguer tout au long de la journée
Black swans, we two, are wedded
This poem is an original for the novella Flight of the Black Swan: Birds of Flight Novella published in March 2015.
I needed a poem that encompassed both the image of a black swan and unusual events that could have been predicted. It was strange not to find anything in literature. As a result, I had to write one. I really should stick with my day job.
