I am the silent gull,
sitting on sand
basking gray skies
as wind blown feathers
ruffle with song
and as gentle tides
rescind
washed upon my table
a time to dine on
life’s salted fragments
they come fruitful through
nature’s culmination
like a rising mist
yearns of past
fade among the
fast moving clouds
gathered in air
a flock family and friends
come set my table
they share with me
life’s evening’s treasures
watching,
waiting
I am the silent gull,
sitting on sand
I do not hunger love
my heart is full
and as I gaze upon the sea
I have much to be grateful
her bounty is always
plentiful and kind
and though I dream of flight
one day
takes me away
I am the silent gull
sitting on sand
this place
I rest my weary wings
and will always
call my home.
Author notes
Inspiration through thoughts of a bottle,
and someone needing a lift to the skies.
it is wings I give her.

Beautifully penned, my friend, as only you can.... I am the gull as well....

well written with such metaphoric imagery. All too often it is I who hopes to brighten everyone elses day and life for its the way I have always been and even my name shows that as the name Eilene means light as in Angelic light, but then when I needed it I had felt lost as I usually bottle things up and try keeping whats wrong to myself until it tends to eat me alive persay and when the intense migraines kept increasing it made things harder still. More often than not many friends especially ones on AP can tell when I'm down by when my writing changes in a downward spiral. I don't seek love or attention for it is always freely given and shred with all whom I know and cherish deeply. I cherish your wings of eternal love and friendship forevermore. many loving blessings always xxxx
