Un Sospiro -A Sigh-

With winter’s chilling sigh
Breathing through the air,
Seagulls continue to fly
Drifting circles—midair.

“Here”, he quietly declare
Alone to his crying heart.
On a colored beach chair
He waits lone to depart.

Seagulls call a plaintive cry
Circling over a silver sea;
Feeling his loss—his yen to die, 
They turn away to flee.

A sigh escapes his lips.
He mourns a life ceded—
His cries go unheeded.
Grief grows unimpeded.
