It is so wonderful to see skeins of geese but the most impressive are to see murmerations of starlings, as in your picture, I have been privileged to see them a few times - wonderful.

Wonderful piece by you Fay. Exactly as it happens.
I have entertained several families of starlings (around four and twenty x 2) over the past month when the chicklings have been reared and now almost fully fledged. They will soon be gone now to join those in the image provided by you.

Oh to be a songbird, highly in the sky;
Oh to sing her sweetly song, oh to have her eye.

Ex animo, Alan

So equisitely expressed and so true. True love shouts when just the sight of each other makes the heart flutter, or when just holding hands send ripples up ones spine, and......

Of course there is silent-speak. Its a raising of an eyebrow, a roll of the eyes, a nod of the head, a licking of the lips, etc. They meet and never speak and live happily ever-after. To some silence is golden. There is a wavelength above audible that destiny enlivens when lovers meet.
What a great thought and wonderful poem. Fay you\'ve done it again.- Phil A.

Hmmm always was a bit of a dilemma for me, these speechless transmissions. I\'m asking myself does she fancy me as much as i fancy her... why isn\'t she waving a flag at me.... is it just my lusty ego saying she does.... and before you know it i\'ve realised i\'m too shy and chickened out of the whole thing.

Secret whispers? I must be in need of a hearing aid!

Destined.
dusk arising said:

We are left with questions and a deep longing to find meaningful answers..

But there are no answers to loss, no answers to disappointments, no answers to unfulfilled dreams......

And still the stars look down upon us as some other couples walk along the beach. Beneath the stars we learn that we just don\'t matter in the great scheme of things, to sit back, relax and be thankful.

Beautiful words of life from you today.

MendedFences27 said:

Revealing a sad loss, yet ever so sweetly. Your poem cries for the oft wished for return to happier times, and bemoans the bitterness of loss. This poem of destiny\'s raw treatment of loved ones and the pain of missing them, rings like a warning bell to all who read it. Just lovely Fay. - Phil A.

Dreams - are they just imagination functioning while we are sleeping, Taking visionary input and reconstructing it under slumber. Some feel they are real, visions from another place or time. Whatever. Thing is, some of us get our best ideas from our dreams or write stirring stuff such as this about them. A delightful read, Fay. It made me think. - Phil A.

Oh that bloody alarm clock!

Got to say this reminded me so much of my recent post about a dream though none of our dreams can be the same as another persons.

Yes, there\'s a lot of loving goes on in a dream. Wonderful to read your words on an amazing realm of self created fantasy featuring real characters who meld to our dream purpose. ..... sigh!... if only.

In life there can be many who trade falsehoods in love, not caring just wanting. Fine words Fay.

Neville said:

there is something about the word errant that makes even the hardest of hardliners smile.. or is that a wince I feel forming...…

You nailed it Fay.... is it true that double agents have twice the fun..... they sure do live dangerously.....

It always ends in tears. I\'ll stick to memories of the good times i had while they lasted and look to the future without risk of more of them there tears.
Mind you, I\'m up for a bit of flirting.

We see then that love is not just one thing. The \'Love is...\' cartoons are good.
I could set this to a hymn-poem, if you wish, though it may break up some of the rhyme.
