The Seabirds Sing

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'm sure you knew I would love this one. The seaside...nothing quite as peaceful or serene, is there? The waves kiss your toes, the sun warms your back, the breeze kisses your cheeks, and the sounds of the seabirds singing allow you to drift to a better place. I have written some of my best poetry at the beach. Julie, another one chocked full of wonderful imagery. The rhyming and rhythm is super. Lydi**
