How starling murmurations work | Popular Science

The murmuration of my memories fills the sky of my soul with a beautiful pictoral show of our long lost love I watch, transfixed Euphorically engrossed, I sigh Oh, what display of you and me and yesterday! I relive the splendor Transfixed Emotions mixed with certainty you and me...and love it will come again But like birds, the memories fly away, and I gaze at an empty sky wondering why reality always makes me cry Eileen Manassian

There is a truthful theme of anticipated happiness against a occasional brutal reality..I've questioned "why do dreams die". I appreciate your poem because I relate to it. Thank you for this beautiful poem.

- A grief over something in life that was lost – something that didn't turn out the way one wanted... a deeply personal journey where memories are erased, Eileen - A painful poem :( - hugs

Dear Eileen, Ahhh, your words move like a dance of wings, so stark, so achingly beautiful. I think the blend of longing and hope is breathtaking, leaving an echo that lingers in the heart. Beautiful and yet sad! Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Thank you for your kind remark. I got inspired by the word murmuration and the rest practically wrote itself.

It's sad that memories we have seem to fade away because often they're the only reminder we have of happier times. Hope you're keeping well Eileen. Tom
