"A rush of excitement fills the air as their maiden voyage comes to a climax."
By author

Up in the sky, baby seagulls leave the crib
Taking virgin wings to the blue skies and puffs of clouds
The siblings' baby steps come without a rattle 
Only a blanket of wind at their backs
As they glide from their playbox in search of silver
Below, they see their mother lode
A pacifier, a fishermen's boat netting jumping sardines
Together, the seagulls fall from their highchair
And dive towards their food chain
That they'll hang on their dinner table with all the silverware
With their catches, the seagulls return home with their calling

I can see those seagulls proudly racing home, showing mom what they caught. And the mother would look over them, eyes beaming, and see how much her little ones had grown. Just like how my own mother's eyes would beam while I was growing up. The rites of passage marked our journey similarly to the seagulls.
