Seabird

Sky paints with seasoned brush
Sea answers -  a whispered hush

Sunbeam bounds on all around
This mute, commonly-held ground

Obvious allure shining bright
Spectacle of deflected light

White-cap endlessly waving
Soul full of space, waiting, craving

For surely this is God laughing
A nod to one just in passing

Or, could this be another sign
A place to pause this point in time

Regal image so large and rich
Salt spray carry my deepest wish

To artist and engineer
Of all spread before me here

Love is too obtuse a word
For such a magical seabird

An unsung song of the heart
Must be all that I can impart

Be it naked, and quite off-key
‘Tis all I have before I flee

And turn away before I see
All I need kneeling before thee
