Migration

The time of migration has begun.
They are travelers.

For some the distance is short.
For others it may be thousands of miles.
For most it is in the darkness they fly.

For some the journey may be their first; to a place they have never been, they find their way.
For others they have made this journey throughout their life, miles upon miles.
For all, it is a perilous journey.

For some I say hello.
For others I say goodbye.
For all, I wish you well – travelers.
