Pelicans in
Flight
Grey, then
white,
As they bend
their great wings earthward, then skyward.
Their numbers
are biblical,
Spread as they
are against the winter sky,
With a regular
movement, slow movement,
Wheeling,
lifting while circling.
Then, with a
grace we would want remembered,
The great white
pelicans begin their descent.
