An Awesome Unseen Hand
By John Cannon

A thousand blackbirds
descend
at once,

Every tree
laden
with ornaments of jet;

Cacophony
jars and grinds
your nerves,

Rampant chaos
it seems,
and yet ―

Somehow
through all the din
a signal is sent

And then,
as one
they all lift up

And swoop away
together
in perfect choreography

As if guided
by an awesome unseen hand.
