The Lone Gull

Honorable mention in Line Guthier's Bite Size Contest No 145

THE LONE GULL

Haloed by sunshine, the lone gull descends 
from the sky and hovers over the waters. 

Walking on the waves, dips its beak catching fish 
in waters where I would not dream of casting nets.

Then, spreading its wings 	cruciform,
wholly ghost-like, ascends into the heavens.
