TRUMPETER SWANS At the first light did I wake And put on the cares of the day The worries, the news, the thousand to-dos And ventured out into the morning The day had grown brighter by then When I heard a sound overhead A trumpeting call, and that's when I saw Saw you fly over me, great white birds I stood staring up at the sky And watched you as you floated by The sight of you made time go away And time took a long time returning And in that long moment it seemed You reached out and swept my heart clean Of all its heartaches and put in their place The beauty and grace of you, great white birds Trumpet the sun with its light on your wings Trumpet the wind, the kinship of things Trumpet this bright, shimmering life This magical flight, day into night Everything turning Trumpet the sun with its light on your wings The summer and fall, the winter and spring Trumpet the trees, the river, the sea That brought you and me, to which we will be One day returning It hasn't been too many years  Since you nearly disappeared But the wise and the brave struggled to save you Now you are saving me, great white birds
