The air comes alive with the action of wings
A kit of pigeons cavorting in the sky
Performing rollers,
The acrobats of the heavens
Mosaics of color like flowers dancing in the wind
Descendants of the winged envoys of Noah
As much a blessing as the rainbow itself
Tiny replicas of angelic creatures
Presented as soothing balm for restless souls
That man might feel the pleasure of being God
They fly in unison; a synchronized squadron
Free spirits, climbing, soaring, turning and diving
Somersaulting backwards with incredible velocity
Rotating, head over tail, at speeds approaching a blur
Descending earthward, spinning down from the clouds
But in control, snapping out of a thirty foot drop
And quickly rejoining formation
Then, on signal, they alight
And trap in to food and safety
Leaving a silent canopy above
With no hint of what has gone before!
