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
