The Sea Gull

 

With elegance and sublime serenity

she flies by with no temerity

Perfectly and beautifully formed

she is so completely unadorned

 

She glides by with such casual ease

and with her eyes does gently tease

Her wings outstretched and open wide

above the early morning tide

 

Sweeping and swooping high in space

she casts no shadow on our earthly face

Her grace and charm are so cristal clear

who can but hold her dear

 

Sometimes she stands and stares out to sea

wondering where else she would rather be

She travels light with no expense

and  undeterred when the fog is dense

 

She is the mistress of all the seas

her wings caressing each and every breeze

With vigilance she guards our national coast

and not for one second does she boast
