Because they're beautiful.

Because they're elegant and strong and powerful.

Because they move with such confidence and grace.

Because every time I stumble upon them unexpectedly - I stop to catch my breath. How lucky - I think to myself - am I to be here to silently witness.

I watched as they twisted and turned and danced circles. Like musical notes on a page. White markings.

I listened.

Maybe it was they that I heard singing?
