MASTERPIECE by Elizabeth LaFavre Lyrics
Jumping puddles
Skinning knees
Riding my bicycle
Feeling fearless
And free
No boundaries
Answers to all of life’s
Complicated questions
At my fingertips
Summer breeze
Do as you please
Hopscotching across
The emerald-green meadow
Starlings
Choreographing
Their next masterpiece
Lean left
Lean right
Down for a somersault
Then up
For the pirouette
Don’t forget the free fall
Go in for the fake
Don’t make the same mistake
Going in for
That final steal
Sky dancing
Swooping and twisting across the sky
To keep prеdators at bay
And to keep warm
They synchronize
A spectacular swarm
Most othеr birds “flock together”
To travel long distances
And flocking together
Reduces their
Energy expenditure
The continuous movements and
Change of direction
The massive synchronization
The depth of the trance
The hopeless romance
The otherworldly, Starling!
How do they not
Destined to crash and burn?
Starlings
A symbol of unity
And hope
When all seems lost
In this world
A mind-boggling display
Of what can be accomplished
When working as one
Beautiful and elegant
Scenes of wonder
Poetry in motion
A symphony
Written without
An end
A smoldering reminder
Of the power
Of joining forces
A lesson for us all
In a world
Where we have
Have lost our way
A glorious sight
To see
A flock of starlings
Flying free
Floating softly
Beneath the fluffy clouds
Almost touching heaven
Precisely where
They should be
Just filling in for
The unseen hands
That save us
From ourselves
Sweet
Sweet
Starlings
Getting ready to greet us
With a never-ending embrace
Poised to show us
The ultimate act
Of grace
Skinning knees
Riding my bicycle
Feeling fearless
And free
No boundaries
Answers to all of life’s
Complicated questions
At my fingertips
Summer breeze
Do as you please
Hopscotching across
The emerald-green meadow
Starlings
Choreographing
Their next masterpiece
Lean left

Don’t forget the free fall
