As we stand on the cusp of autumn and winter,
The birds fly off into the pink dawn
Early every morning
Looking like autumn leaves in the rising sun.
The stragglers skim the silver surface of the lake
In perfect and opposite harmony
Looking like little origami birds.

They DO look like origami birds. We used to have Canadian geese fly over our valley once a year. It was an amazing sight to behold and hear. I don’t know what happened to that migration. I haven’t seen them in years and these photos make me miss them all the more.

In the first photo, the flying formation of the birds look like a heart, and the birds also look like “origami birds” as you wrote. There’s something lonely about their parting one group after another but look forward to seeing them again next spring.
