The Breeze

I took a walk on the beach this morning

The Breeze

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A cool breeze is driven
by the warm rising sun.
A lone scavenging Gull
pauses to consider.

 

He quickly takes flight
and steers into the wind.
A thought enters his mind…
if I were but an Eagle.

 

“If I were but an Eagle,
great canyons I would soar.
Riding updrafts higher,
diving towards my prey.”

 

A thousand miles away
the same sun dawns.

An Eagle returns at last,
from a tiring morning hunt.

 

A small mouse held firmly,

in his mighty crushing beak.
He flaps his wings as talons
so gently grip the nest.

 

He drops the mouse
from his beak and say’s…

“Honey get the kids,
we’re going to the beach!”

Do we often wish to be something other than what we are? To see into the thoughts of a gull, who wishes to be an eagle, and then the eagle wants to go to the beach... you have went full circle with this one. Made me laugh at the ending.
