Swan on Still Waters

I saw a white swan in the pond

Floating carelessly towards its aim

Then I saw myself in the same still water

I always pray for the same serenity

For the years to come in life

But within me

There’s a ravaging storm

Which cannot be helped

Even catharsis fails me sometimes

I try to calm myself breathing in and out

I speak words of wisdom by putting a hand on my chest

But I fail every time and so I end up crying

By raining all the poison out of my eyes
