"THE SINGING SEAGULLS"
"BREATHE THE SALTY AIR SIGH DREAM"
The seagulls fly
in the breeze.
I smell the salty air and sigh.
Freedom of the sea,
The seagulls sing
as they fly around me
in the euphoric zone
of a surreal reality
of being alone,
one with the sea
as the seagulls sing to me.
The short video was filmed with my cell phone when I lived in a fishing village long ago in South Texas. I would walk to the beach daily to visit my feathered friends. We formed a bond together. The seagulls would fly to my backyard every morning around 6 AM. They would sing to me with their loud singing voices to alert me that they were ready for breakfast. I loved them very much.

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.

Love the poem! There's something really special about seagulls. I remember how impressed I was the first time I saw a seagull drop a clam or a mussel on a rock on the shore to get that tasty food inside.
Awww, I wanna be friends with the seagulls too! Loved your poem!
The beach is my favorite place to be. I feel at home there. Beautiful words!
Very nice. <3
