It makes no sense  
No rhyme or reason  
But as I pass the lake  
In the milder seasons  
I slow my ride  
And scan the horizon  
With hopes and prayers  
That I might find them

A pair of swans  
A him and her  
They dip and dive  
And seem to glide  
Just above the water  
But never far  
One from the other

Each year for a decade  
the pair I have spied  
And two years  
Since I lost my bride  
But somehow  
seeing them together  
Always gives me solace

It makes no sense  
No rhyme or reason  
But as I pass the lake  
In the milder seasons  
I slow my ride  
And scan the horizon  
With hopes and prayers  
That I might find them
