Description of the Image
As his eyes slowly close, he feels gentle hands lifting him onto a soft, feather-covered back. He feels the muscular tension of the wings, the flex of muscles and bones, and then a jolt as the swan takes off into the sky. He feels his own limbs obedient, filled with vitality, and energy flows through them. It lifts him high, and he curls up in a fetal position on her back, content to let her carry him far away.
The swan flies through the night. Her wings do not appear tired. It seems she is unfamiliar with exhaustion. The unchanging strength in the rhythmic beat of her wings and the warm, living pulse of her heart in her chest seem to seep through her pores and tint her flesh with a drop of her spirit. When dawn sends the first rays of light into the sky, he finally opens his eyes to see the swiftly passing landscapes far below. The earth seems so distant. It's hard to believe in the pain, fear, and grief that such a tiny world can create. Flying by, he sees crows cawing harshly, warning of a storm, but the sound falls on ears that refuse to hear. He gazes intently ahead, and when the clouds part, he can see where the swan is carrying him. He smiles and clings tighter to her back, filled with renewed strength.
