On Bleached Seagull Sands

Over the crys of seagulls
gods whisper loudest
over rain, and children voices
heavens open, declaring
'Sorrow is a pagan mask,
to scare the spirts
of envy away!'.
In Summer, tides rise
longest, crustaceans
crawl highest, only
to be devoured sooner
on bleached seagull sands
warming, burning, leaving
a decaying, vanishing shell.

Okay, so you must have re-posted all of these poems, because none of them have comments. They're too good to have no comments! This is a wonderful allegory for the way that life struggles and sacrifices to sustain itself. Well done, Tom! Donna
