Sylvia and the Reflection of Love

2 min 35 sec

The lake lay smooth as polished silver when Sylvia the swan pushed away from the reeds at the very moment the sun kissed the horizon.
Each stroke of her wings sent ripples racing outward like secret whispers, and the sky blushed rose and gold above her.

She had floated this same path every evening since she was a cygnet, but today felt different, charged with a hush that made her feathers tingle.
As she glided toward the center of the water, her reflection shimmered beneath her, bright as moonlight on snow.

The reflection blinked first one eye, then the other, and Sylvia knew her oldest friend was ready to speak.
“Good evening, dear Sylvia,” the mirrored swan said in a voice like wind through willow leaves.

“Tonight I have a tale to share, one that drifts across the lake of the heart.”
Sylvia tucked her wings close and listened, for the reflection only told stories when the sky blushed exactly this shade.

Long ago, before the lake had a name, two swans nested on opposite shores, unaware of each other’s existence.
The first swan, bright as dawn, wove reeds into delicate shapes that danced upon the water.

The second swan, calm as dusk, sang notes that settled like lullabies upon the breeze.
Each evening they paddled in widening circles, seeking the source of the beauty they felt but could not see.

Seasons turned, and their longing grew until the lake itself seemed to breathe with their yearning.
One autumn twilight, a storm cracked the sky and scattered the reeds, carrying the dawn swan’s woven crown across the water.

The dusk swan found it tangled in cattails and, cradling the gift, sang a reply that traveled farther than any song before.
The melody met the dawn swan beneath a rainbow, and in that instant they recognized the missing half of their hearts.

From that day on, they glided side by side, weaving songs and singing shapes, teaching the lake that love is the art of answering another’s quiet call.
Sylvia felt warmth spread through her breast as the reflection faded into soft ripples.

She understood that every paddle stroke she made carried this same possibility, the chance to answer and be answered, to weave and be woven, to love and be loved beneath the wide and watchful sky.
