A Great Commotion

The ambience was changing At the fading of the light. I could feel a cool embrace, The coming of the night. In the sky, a great commotion Countless starlings did I see A swirling murmuration In perfect symmetry. Fluid moving patterns Writ wide across the sky, Oh, but the joy of it To watch these starlings fly. An ever changing tapestry, It was ballet in the air. A wonder to behold I could but stand, and stare.
