frist of january

Men have a new year,
But not the seagulls,
No first of January for them,
They glide in the wind,
That is enough for my happiness,

The sea is a mirror for the soul,
eternity too,

Imagine the seagulls 
like to be looked at

If I am alone to read this poem,
He has no interest.

I think the birds celebrate each day with joy as they sing and feed upon the good things that earth has to offer. I guess they don't need to celebrate just one day but maybe they might need a special occasion also. I enjoyed reading this one, Yann. Way to go. 👏✍️. Sara K.
