Gull

Winter sea 
cold and grey, 
its' hostility I see, 
pounding in the bay 

Wild of sea and sky, 
such winds I must fly 

Black cliffs resist 
angry grey sea, 
that smashes its' fist, 
deep in to glistening rock. 
Gulls beginning to flock 

This roller coaster I ride, 
wild wind calling, 
dangers I deride, 
pressure falling 
friends soaring 

Wild sea and sky 
such wind I must fly 

Roar of wind, 
pummels me, 
crash of surf, 
deafens me, 
my playground, 
my turf 

Up and down 
cruising the cliff, 
wild wind and water, 
I get my lift 

Rising seas flecked with white, 
winds,I must not fight, 
for ,they blow strong 
we must get along 

wild of sea and sky 
such wind I must fly 

Wind pushing me miles far, 
can bring me back, 
by turn of wing. 
Strength it does not lack, 
for the wind does sing 
for me on my wing 

Wild of sea and sky 
such wind I must fly
