Not a Drifter By No Means

A poem by Peter S. Quinn

Not a drifter by no means
Clean I'll come and go,
Follow whatever convenes
That onto my hours grow;
There isn't a place or purpose
That gets stuck up for long,
It comes just as it goes
Like a refrain in a song.

Drift like clouds into dawn
Be there with the light first,
White winged feathered swan
That brightly minutes thirst;
The coming of the hour
That has no others before,
To be there in all its dower
And open up others door.

Not a drifter but a dreamer
That gives away a thought,
A long way cloudlet steamer
Like deep hidden oceanaut;
With its waves and billows
That come and drift to shore,
What else who then knows
For there is so much more.

Simplicity and elegance. The presence of both is something that I cherish greatly when I'm looking for art. The photo is perfectly framed and balanced in a flawless composition. The swan is caught in its "perfect" pose, as we all know it from our imagination everytime we hear the word itself: this speaks of patience and of the ability to wait for just the right moment. The wake of the swan passage is made of waves that are - again - perfectly spreading. The very dark background and water are a great complement to the white purity of the feathers, and the reflection is stark-clear, adding another bit of elegance to this wonderful shot.
