Flock of Seagulls
In my early morning I hear
a flock of seagulls chirping near out loud
as they fly around and around
in endless circles over my head.
A large and intimidating circle of birds.
They dance,
dancing away
to honor the bright sun
and the barely awaken earth.
They head down to the floor
in a pretty uniform line
heading towards the seed I'd laid for them
and again they fly high
over the blue/purple morning sky.
Their dance is the dance of the sun_
Up. Down. There they go!
With their long wide wings spread out wide
they seem to touch the sky
as they sing like sopranos and tenors
with a new made up song for us,
for you and I.
Then away they go,
to hide
between the gray clouds.
Few seagulls remains behind
chirping out loud.
Is getting late.
Time to fully awake.
There's no rest for the weary!
No. Like an old blues say
"There's no rest for the weary
just another day
grinding up stones
till they turn into dust, it's tough,
dimes in the rough. Diamonds ain't enough"...
"So keep marching 'til your feet split open".
We all most go on living,
working, and struggling.
And I must go on dreaming,
while the river cries, or sing,
while the moon is gone and the sun shines
which is what it does best, so it seems,
while the docks take a bath,
in the lake near my yard,
while I kiss you good bye,
while I get in my car and kiss the winds,
and the rose in my hair, and the cross on my neck.
while you and I part ways.
While I being to wonder why
it started to rain
in my eyes as the birds fly high...
