Dip and dive, twists and turns
Forming shapes and sizes
That could never be learned

Plumaged joy for all to see
As scornful sky criticizes
Winged beauty so wild and free

An unmatched mystery to all below
Flighty festoon falls and rises
Without care, fear or woe

Elastic, electric, exemplified elation
Creating endless surprises;
Ten thousand starlings’ murmuration.
