Gathering of the Loons
Each night at dusk
Thirteen loons would meet
Just as the sun would set
The purple, the pinks
Orange and blues
In a late September sky
Light floating on the waves
The glitter, the shine
Transcend into each other's form
And the thirteen loons
A holy ritual would come
To met each other again
One from here
One from there
From wherever they spent the day
A magical moment
Hear them call out
To each other by name
Forming "V'" wakes
Thirteen loons would meet
Just as the sun would set
The purple, the pinks
Orange and blues
In a late September sky
Light floating on the waves
The glitter, the shine
Transcend into each other's form
And the thirteen loons
A holy ritual would come
To met each other again
One from here
One from there
From wherever they spent the day
A magical moment
Hear them call out
To each other by name
Forming "V'" wakes
On the evening sea
They're dancing away from me
A family comes together
Glides across the sea
To Harstine Island, to call it a day
