As we gather to watch them together
We gather to watch them disperse
and reverse
Under and over the pier
In and out of our hearts
We gather to watch them make beauty with
their wings,
To listen to nature sing
We gather to watch them come together,
All of us bound by the sea
Safe between their wings
We gather to watch them transform
and reform
Again and Again
With each movement
They shimmer,
Ripple and flicker
Each time unique
The patterns of our days and afternoons
The rolling of the waves
The rhythm of our days
Defined by these movements
Unique but the same
As the world goes around and around
In this tiny, ancient seaside town
