gull

August 6, 2024


given the gift of wings, of flight,
the gull lives its life solely by the sea.
enjoying every sunset, brilliant and dull,
soaring through the salty, turbulent breeze,
diving and swallowing whatever fish feels
brave enough to hold its breath and leap
from its container in a movement of ecstasy.
the gull could travel the world,
unbounded by the earth,
flow by the currents,
see the Unseen,
know the Unknown,
and yet it remains:
by the sea
