Rippled

a swan upon the water

Dark ashen body of glass, gently rippled by waft of wing,

Your leaden hue of gray is captured in memory. 

As her stark white fledge of flight permits her to gently above you glide.

The reflective powers of both moon and sun add green and blues to her boundaries.

They do convey said silhouette of her poise descending.

Dancing images of who she is matches her every cue

With much élan her tips do trace the surface of her canvas

And the sheer beauty of the swan leaves us breathless.

You are allowed to be complex, because your art is that good. Your descriptive power is very genuine. The last line is priceless.
