Empty Sky

Vacant skies for another watchful day Winds were present from the northwest Where the raptors are now that fall is here Many are watching, hoping for the best. Getting to the hill early in the morning Perfect weather is here, just need a fly by Yesterday was dull no sights of wings I don’t know what to make of this, I can’t imagine why. Did they take a different route on their way home? Or are they spending more time at their summer grounds? Oh! It’s exciting to see them gliding in a swirl My ears are straining but I do not hear sounds. We can predict the weather and sense when it will snow Why don’t we have insight to when the festivities will begin? Nothing can rush the parade of the skies Don’t start the baton, don’t even intend. Effort and time were spent gazing below the ridge It will soon be a show and you’ll be in tune Rightfully so, but it’s hard to leave the hill without Those captivating raptors will be checking in soon.
