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
