gulls hovered so near
I could see their eyes
black beads in puffs of white
and I see as if through their eyes
the gray water is my heart
reflecting a low hang of sky
where thick clouds hold more drops
waiting to come home
and I am a world of invisible souls
each day I had owned now owns me
never to be free, nor wanting it
I stand, my body as lands,
breath as winds to look beyond the air over my eyes
held in the glow of love,
I have been warmed
by a greater sun

Wonderful poem this is, PK and such a great interpretation of the contest prompt. I really like the way you've carried the metaphor through from start to finish - something not everybody is capable of doing! This is indeed a poem with wings and those last two lines are pure magic. Really loved this one - beautiful poetry! Thank you for posting it in my contest.

Such a beautiful piece...
I liked these lines especially:
"and I am a world of invisible souls
each day I had owned now owns me
never to be free"
I enjoyed reading this wonderful poem.
Thank you for sharing, well done

by a greater sun"
