The Vigilant Seagull

A seagull kept vigil on top of the church
Defiantly braving the threatening sky.
Transfixed and alone, on the sanctified perch
As gargoyles looked on with malevolent eye.

Defiantly braving the threatening sky
His feathers assailed by the blustery gale,
As gargoyles looked on with malevolent eye
The sentry stood firm, his resolve did not fail.

His feathers assailed by the blustery gale,
Transfixed and alone on the sanctified perch,
The sentry stood firm, his resolve did not fail.
A seagull kept vigil on top of the church.
