You were once my muse
Settled in while the ripples
Play about you in delight
Once you caused my heart to beat
Until your vanity appeared
Causing you to become silent
Ostentation became conspicuous
The distances of the chasm
Represented interruption of continuity
Therefore I had no choice
Leaving you in your solitude
True affection became an infraction
Much like a rift in broken trust
An impending apparition of true self
In its ominous presence
Having great extent from one side to the other
Stands thickly in the way
The bidding of farewells is not by choice
Self preservation and tiredness
In the tearing down of walls
Keeps the other swans far from me
I can feel their hearts beating for me
Their cygnets want to sit in the palm of my hand
Therefore I will observe you from a distance
Devotion of our fond memory still survives
You know the place where it resides
