The Seagull

The seagull
Stretched its wings
Flapping
Alofted
Head down
Legs shrunk
Flying high like a kite
Flying high like a great Cross
Suddenly
Plunging down
Became huge in size
Then gliding
Hovering above the sea
So free to fly in the blue sky
In the admirations of the clouds above
So proud to stay roaming around
In the admirations of the men below
Then suddenly
Plunging down into the water 
And arose with a fish in its beak 
So fast that no one could remember 
To give it an applause 
Before it flew away

Wonderful. I hear the expression of the challenge of a task that is natural and the grace with which it can be carried out.
