Swift Summer Flight

Gregg Dotoli

there’s a calmness

in watching sandpipers
zooming in tandem
over the summer ocean
searching and playing as one
not a flock but in harmony as one

yes the whole is greater than the sum
flash-turning diving up and around
coordination genius
a miracle in wings
landing simultaneously
on golden warm shelled sand
teamwork taught by Mother Earth

a lesson humanity dangerously failed

as we gaze at our eco-sick planet
