Riddle

Just the other day, I saw them
Their arms all faced, more or less
The same direction, were slim, barren
And they danced, waving to the sky
Their colors white, ragged, brown

I knew not to disturb them
Simply to let them cross the blue
As they chose to. It was as though
I had never seen anything like them
before and had to ask : what are they?
