Christmas Eve 2012 – This is another poem from my book ‘The Course of Our Seasons’ posted last year with the youtube video of a murmuration of starlings set to music.
Dear friends, I wish you blessings of the season and a peaceful and joy-filled 2013. K

Christmas Eve

A whirling galaxy of starlings
At sunset on Christmas Eve.

Star – lings (a bright name for such a dark and dusky bird)

A murmuration of stars
Sweeping the darkening night,
Making a moving path
For the Milky Way.
