Gather - Momentum

amalgamation, amino inception

the thriving womb of our forebears

the tireless reach across ocean epochs

the graceful agony of progression

for we have smelted cells

to carve new scales in hide

in turn recast feathers

with which we did take flight

the hardship of famine, in spite of cataclysm

survive and surpass in the face of all odds

The graceful agony of progression

crawl from below, descend from above

to incubate for millenia,

desperately clinging to the menagerie
