SWALLOWS

From under the creek bridge
swallows swarm
so many
they look like bees

what daring they possess
in their wild flights of fancy

happiness is in the air
as they chatter away
like playing children

in love with the start of
a new day

with flight as effortless
as the drawing
of a breath

as natural
as air.
