The Swans courage

 It's been 15 days, I see her everyday swimming on my surface. It seems like she is almost showing off her mesmerising white feathers, but I like it. I like how she pretends that I don't exist, or how she swims all over me but never cherishes it. It means I have a chance to win her attention in my way. 

I still remember the 1st day when she flew over me, and sat on the banks of me. She roamed around the banks the whole day, I couldn't stop myself, and went up to her for a formal introduction. Her name is Moon, ahh.. so accurate for her, just like her radiant energy. That was the day I felt bad for not having a name, besides you know.. lake. Yes, lame but I'm lake.

On that day I felt like I realised my real purpose on earth, to have  Moon swim on me, everyday, every night, forever. Since the 1st day, we haven't spoken to each other that much. I must be curious therefore thinking a little too much, but she seems upset and lost most of the time. I should approach her, right? I mean, maybe I could help her, maybe I can be her friend. Oh forget it !! I'm going for it.

“Hey!!” I said

Moon:- “oh you! Hey.”

Me:- “ So, how have you been? Is the new place suiting you? Anything you need help with? You know you could always ask me, right.”

Moon:- “ Wow! That's a lot to answer there, in one go. But yes, all in all I'm fine, thank you.”

Me:- “oh ! That's great”

Moon:- mmhm

She turns around, seems like she about to swim to another side..

“Oh wait!” I interrupted

Moon:- “ hmm”

Me:- “ umm, you know it's been 2 weeks now, and not to be creepy but the birds and my relation with them, around here is quite neighbourly. So on that note, I was wondering, is there anything you are worried about?”

Moon:- “ oh no no no, no why would you ask me that? Do I look that tired?” Asking me in a taunting tone

Me:- “oh no! That's not the thing (you're gorgeous *in my mind*) I've been noticing you for some time now, and you look lost and alone most of the time”

After a little pause, she says

Moon:- “so you do read bird's mind too, huh” hesitantly..

Me:- “ well, not usually. But seems like I was right overall, in this case”

Again, a big pause. Oh god, awkward awkward so,.. awkward. Come on, say something. She seems sad, oh wait a joke to go, perhaps…

“You know I have hefty of menu inside me, swimming around for you” (referring to fish) 

Moon laughed, 

Moon:- “You've been a great comfort and a home to me, lake, for these 15 days”

Me:- “thanks Moon, but it still not the answer to my question. Is something bothering you?”

Moon seemed hesitant at first, one tear rolling down her cheeks on me, she raised her right feather, showing her wound in the inner corner of right feather, she says..

Moon:- “This is my past, that has been haunting me, I used to live with a black swan named Blackford. Everybody was against us, but still I stood besides him like a rock, to my Backford”

Her voice shakes, yet she continues…

“ But I guess everybody was right overall, he became a monster to me, I couldn't take it anymore and I flew away”

She breaks into tears, I went blank. How could someone destroy, someone this beautiful and exquisite soul. That Backford should die, how dare he hurt my Moon… I mean Moon or my.. Moon.

Me:- “you know I have heard humans, use a word call *aesthetic* if I put it plainly it means a timeless pair, a legendary, unbroken pair that suit only when they are put together, not far, not unorganised but just together with each other.”

Moon listening curiously with her baby eyes on me..

“Where I'm going is, sometimes when the pair doesn't match, it just needs to change its position to see where it belongs, the time is a magical part here, let go that doesn't suit you, the evil you left is for good”

Moon:- “But I couldn't get over it? So, how can I even think about my pair? What do you think my aesthetic is lake?”

Me:- “ It's yours to decide Moon, I'm here to support, whatever you choose. I want to see you happy Moon, if it's with a companion I'm ready to be so”

Moon- “ oh lake! You are so sweet to say this, but I'm a mess, I don't wanna be a burden on you”

Me:- “ oh moon you can never be”

After a pause, she whispered to me..

Moon:- “I'm glad that I landed you or perhaps on you” 

Moon laughing her heart out, oh god, that's what I wanted to see, there's that laugh I wanted to see.

Me:- “I'm glad too. So, are you ready for your aesthetic?”

Moon:- “I think I know, what's my aesthetic is”
