Breakfast with a Seagull

Masachusetts, 1995 http://www.Writing.Com/authors/dcsagec

We watch eachother quietly
and disturb not eachother's thoughts
Look out to a rugged sea
from watercolor rocks.
Embracing union with elements stronger than we-
I discover peace in your
humble majesty.

Memories of a childhood blow through my hair,
monuments of nature streched before us.
Perhaps you remember stillness of this ocean's breath,
compassion of your flock,
silence as your crown.

Today a lullabye of salty mist,
you know this world better than I.
For I am but a visitor,
transient sorrows pass you by,
we ponder life in general.

I've taken joy in your freedom,
as without fear of eachother
we share our breakfast...
..dwell in solitude from our kind.
I thank you for accepting me.

Images possess my mind.
We are both close to this earth, though
when we part goodbye,
You will take to flight,
and I will turn and walk away.
