The Seagull
Under a warm, generous sky
shared by moon, stars, sun and sea
the seagull watches
with an enchanted eye
dawn’s perfect synergy.
While others preen, flock and fly
still
the seagull watches
with that ever watchful eye.
As the moon fades
to brighten another darkened sky
the seagull watches,
through a glassy clear eye.
And when the sun, too, settles
into the embrace of the sea
she returns to the edge
undaunted, undeterred,
by this familiar infidelity.
She knows
a new dawn breaks
beyond the sea
and so
the seagull watches
and waits
expectantly.
Where ever you are, may you wake to face the sun.
As always
a dawn bird
