Long, tapered and slender
They cup the chill blue sky
And with a stately pirouette
Toss it casually behind
Then arching high again
They knife the air once more
Gracefully cutting spirals
Into the winter breeze
Soaring Purposefully
Then plunging fearlessly
Flying, forever rooted
To the same spot of earth

Long, tapered and slender
They cup the chill blue sky
And with a stately pirouette
Toss it casually behind
Then arching high again
They knife the air once more
Gracefully cutting spirals
Into the winter breeze
Soaring Purposefully
Then plunging fearlessly
Flying, forever rooted
To the same spot of earth
