A leaf drifting on a stream
A ship with an ice-smooth keel
The nightingale glides through the sky
Singing as sweetly as a mother to her child
Breaking the serene silence
Purposeful as a mermaid swimming home
The kingfisher dives into the sparkling lake
More graceful than an underwater ballerina
Her head under her silky wing
Poised like a sleepy dancer
A dove preens her feathers
Perched on my windowsill when I wake
