Amateur Ornithologist - The Murmuration

Falling Feathers
Dance the early evening wing
Slip the zephyr
Witness avian in sync
Whirling exchange
Sway and wave the day away
Shifting membrane
Turning tail the dusk prevails

I see the murmuration up in the sky and I say
Why do good stories end and why do feelings die?
I see the murmuration up in the sky
And why, oh, why do feelings die?

Wheeling plumage
Hypnotize from purple skies
Nightly blooming
Contract and bend in floating time

I see the murmuration up in the sky and I say
Why do good stories end and why do feelings die?
I see the murmuration up in the sky
And why, oh, why do feelings

Talon and tail
Beak and bone
Thousands cast in unison
Stretch and drop
Swoop and hold
There's safety in numbers
But the credits roll

I see the murmuration up in the sky and I say
Why do good stories end and why do feelings die?
I see the murmuration up in the sky
And why, oh, why do feelings

When I hear the beginners' call
Instead I see the curtain fall
When I hear that my ship's come in
I see the shoreline flooding
When the order comes down, "engage"
I sit and write the final page
When they told me that I'd go far
I turned and sang The Last Hurrah
