Gulls In Circled Flight


Early in the morning as the quiet of night is fading,
        I hear the kakakaka  akakak of the gulls calling;
And outside my window they glide in a swooping dance,
As night turns into a blue sky, they twirl and swirl and glide,
     Drifting in the breeze with wings outspread,
Above the majestic oak with emerald leaves they hover;
     Then suddenly they are gone from view,
Gone the beauty to farmers crops rippling in the sun,
To parks and water they dwell till day fades to a red sunset.

Read this several days ago. Beautiful, sweet poem. Used to hand feed Gulls on the beach during the winter when no one was around.
