A Perfect Moment

Never had I heard
a flutter so clear! 
Nor more distinct settle
of midnight wings; soft
gray fans, coming to gentle 
fold --  

soon to follow his song 
 -- the nightingale,
lilting the air! 
                 Such a blessed
union, rare!~ Light and
dark shadows tranquilly sharing
often fought over space – for
a perfect moment, seeming to 

forgive and harmoniously embrace --

Wow. I don't know why. But this made me envision people immigrating to the US years ago and seeing the Statue of Liberty with birds on the wing
