Flocking
Flocking
The leader makes its move.
In a swirl of space,
like dust in the first
gusts of a storm
they take flight.
Nature's pure choreography,
each tiny course correction
ripples, repeated countless times.
The beauty of shape and movement,
a ritual dance recurring
again and again, season on season,
year upon year.
To the warmth and back,
with nothing but instinct,
they treat us to their show.
