Bird Shadows Premiere Contest Winner

Across the warm tumbled shore seabirds glide To splay moving shadows of dark on sand And fill my eyes under a sky so wide As I lay beneath its long endless band And feel life's spirit's wondrous restful pause To fill the soul with peace of mind when found From all the moments of perpetual cause To hear whispered sighs from my breathing sound As I lay in still rhythms with the waves Unearth reasons from life which I relive To release tensions my mind always saves And lighten burdens from the days I live To reach a depth when dark and light converge And touch bird shadows with my eyes they merge 4/7/19
