The Seagulls

Above the clouds, seagulls enjoyed the sky
Today you disappeared, the sad space cries
You flee the Rocky Mountains domain
Left the empty sky, won’t I see you again

You fly away from the gloomy weather 
Beneath clouds, I search for you, the heart stealers 
No more your white wings, nor your voice
The cold sky is missing your gentle noise

Where are you heading? 
Where is your new housing?
My spirit is low as you fly away
Rocky Mountains' sky feels like a sad day

The sky mistakes my vision of your presence
The lovely shadows retain their accents
Even for a short time, a farewell is like dying 
Winter sky makes my heart swinging
