Once Upon a Time Poems

Artwork

Guess who skips in micro steps etching
Myriad designs in the damp sand,
Laughing at human fallacies,
Flapping his wings,
Feeling superior?

When the unscrupulous surf washes away
His artwork without an apology.
No sulking under stress,
A screech, that’s all,
Open to the sun.

Dashing on the beach to re-create sketches,
Wildly singing every word of a prayer,
A fading infinity symbol,
His immortal gladness,
That wild seagull!
