The Seabirds Sing

~ morning at the beach ~

~~~

As soft as winds of dawn that blow

and wake me from my sleepy bed

with graceful sounds, is the echo

of melodies heard overhead

 

I watch their wings unfold in flight

painting the skies in harmony

with warm sunbeams as flecks of light

twirl gently on the peaceful sea

 

I listen to the lazy waves

sweeping the shore so far below

the songs that lift the dew and save

the sweetest day now born to show…

 

Sometimes the heart must pause to breathe

to clarify the pulse and mind

as softly as the echoes’ weave

serenity will be defined

 

So the seabirds, they sing again

as the sun smiles in the beauty

of songs that sail upon the wind

to fill my heart with poetry

dear Julie.... Reading your poetry is getting to
know sun smiles and wind songs. We often feed
the seagulls. They are so grateful... and are partial
to Hot Cross Buns... broken into pieces. Each seabird is
so delicate and beautiful... much like your poetry.
truly... Pat

Thank you for your very kind comment Pat Hugs, Julie

dear Julie... I posted a birthday poem
for Lydia in WC entitled "Unleashed".
I posted early as she was born in April.
I love your windswept poems... they
are so gentle on my mind. truly... Pat

I can't imagine what your poetry would be like if you didn't have the sea to inspire such beautiful words.
This makes me want to come to that place, take off my shoes and let the sand slip through my toes as I listen to the sea birds talk to me, the ocean waves wash away my cares,,,,, and the words of poetry would sail the winds.

Did I happen to mention how much I love this poem?????

It's poem like this that take me to a different place. I am so trapped in my past romances that it is so wonderful to be taken on this mental vacation. Thank you for letting me go on this lovely journey with you. Peace and tranquility are two things we all should focus on, not allowing us to get lost in the daily grind. Another great one Julie!
