A RING FROM A SWAN

Aside from a swan being one of the most
beautiful creatures on this earth, it is also one of the most moral as
well. The swan is one of the species
from the animal kingdom that is monogamous.
Like the dolphin and the raven, the swan only mates once in life. If something such as illness, capture, or
death decides to take their mate away they go on to die alone and never pair up
again in their lifetimes. They say when
humans do something that is barbaric that they are acting like an animal. I think we have that backwards. If you really dissect what’s going on around
this planet you would have to say that we are the beast!
We lie for no reason. We take for no reason. We even kill for no
reason. We will sleep with anything and
anyone as long as it pleasures our intricate and barbaric needs. I have seen some sexual deviants behave in
such a manner, in photographs of course, that made me realize that I was
looking at an ANIMAL; a simple human animal that puts ‘so called’ beastly
behavior to shame. You have to
understand that if earth doesn’t live out its natural lifespan it will be due
to its destruction by the human animal. This
is why one is attracted to the high moral ground of a swan, a dolphin, or even
the hauntingly suspicious life of the dark raven.
I can’t imagine the wonderful and selfish
life of knowing that your mate only lives for you. The life of knowing that your mate has to
listen to every ache and pain and moan and whistle and just TAKE IT! They aren’t going anywhere… They can’t…
Look at it this way: Imagine
someone who loves you so much for who you are to them that they will take you
however you come and however you go.
Imagine the comfort of knowing that you will never be alone pinning over
your mate on the other side of the pond rubbing up on some other bird. Sounds like heaven. Sounds like civilization.
Well this story is about a swan, a human
swan. I must remind you though. All my stories are true. This is a story about a boy. About a boy who is a man who is a boy. Why is he a boy? He’s a boy because he has never been allowed
to grow up to be a man. The reason the
man is still a boy who is a man is because if the boy were to grow up to be a
man than he would be a gay man. So the
man remained a boy who was a man for a very long time. The man remained a boy for over thirty years,
almost forty. The man living as a boy
became very sad and couldn’t live the life of the boy any longer. The boy becoming a man took to his shell in
order to break free.
The
man as a boy refused to take a call. The
calls kept coming and the denials started falling. Enter the swan. The swan had given birth to the boy living as
a man and wanted to know what was wrong.
The boy crumbled in front of the swan and started to convulse in
tears. The swan was loss for words and
couldn’t bare the pain her boy was in.
She pleaded with the boy to tell her what was wrong. The boy convulsed harder and more tears
flowed. The swan took a guess and let it
be known that she knew her boy. The swan
asked her boy if he was gay. He fell
into a heap in torrential tears… The
swan cried as well explaining that it was all okay. The boy becoming a man said, “Well if it’s
okay then why are you crying?” After a
moment, the swan explained, “I’m crying because I can’t believe you’ve lived so
long and haven’t been who you are.” She
was crying because her boy had lived as a boy too long and she knew it. The boy who was a man who lived as a boy is
now a man.
The man who was a boy explained to his
swan of a mother, “I just didn’t think you would love me if you knew who I
was. You’ve always expected so much from
me since I was the oldest son. I was
scared you wouldn’t love me.” The swan
looked down at her wedding ring from the male human who had left her. She was still wearing the ring because she
knew that it was only ‘once’ for her when it came to love. She looked at the ring that she had dreamed
of getting every since she was a small girl.
She continued to look at the wedding ring on her finger that she knew
she would die with. She looked at the
ring that she knew she would be buried with.
She looked at her son, the man.
She took the ring off her finger and
looked strongly at her son, the man. She
looked him in the eye and grabbed his hand and put her symbol of love, the
ring, on his pinky finger and told him this.
She said, “As long as you live I want you to wear this ring, and
whenever you feel like no one loves you, you LOOK AT THIS RING AND KNOW THAT I
LOVE YOU!” They cried some more. He has never taken off the ring to this
day. The boy hidden in the man who lived
as a boy who was a man was now a MAN!
