Swallows

Swallows
- for the morphologically inclined

No sheep 
to bumble about alone
weighed down 
with individuality
upon the ground
we surge 
in sweet 
and singing swiftness
across the sky
shape-shifting 
all as one
to sculpt the bright 
and empty air
with wings of light

Your alliteration makes this metaphoric write even more classy!
