Sandra Adams Poet Free verse

So Far From the Sea This Gull Flies

he skimmed this gelid air
on a gossamer breath
ascending then descending 
adrift like my wishes

perhaps he was lost
like i in my unspoken thoughts
just wanting to be anywhere
other than where he should be

i closed my eyes
imagining
soaring
on his wings
aloft on dreams
as i spiraled
into the arms
of your love
momentarily

John Gondolf November 21, 2019 at 11:09 AM I often get lost in thoughts from the past and the memories are so vivid when I close my eyes. Beautifully expressed, Sandy.

Heidi Sands November 20, 2019 at 12:11 PM So nice! I love to watch the birds at the ocean. and I agree it reminds me of the song Chris mentioned. I too, love that song.. Well written Sandra :) Sandra Adams November 20, 2019 at 1:11 PM Thank you Heidi I love to watch them as well. I am a little inland but sometimes they come around our area and make me wish I was at the oceans edge watching them :) hugs

Chris Green November 20, 2019 at 10:57 AM Has me singing the song "Seagull" by Bad Company (one of my favorites) as is your beautifully free flowing poem my friend. This one took me away on those same wings. Wonderfully written. Sandra Adams November 20, 2019 at 11:45 AM Thank you so much Chris...every so often we get them around here, we are maybe an hour or so to the closest beach... when i see them, it makes me want summer again... hugs
