Fresh hush
First light
The day waits
Undisturbed
Overhead
Wings thrust
Loons
Singing ethereal songs of ancient longing
Summoning reverence
Awakening grace
Bridge beings
Angels of flesh
Bones and feathers
Water and flight
Discordant
Manufactured
Human racket
Interrupts the natural mystical flow
A Whirring motor
A cackling replay of last night’s party
Above it all
Holy winged creatures
Sacred vessels
Binding us
To eternity
