Seagull Flying Low

Folder: 
Memories

I saw a poet's artful pen held in a gentle hand

I felt your poet's heart within our dream-built edenland

In magic lands of friendship, we soared so very high

With your kind and gentle strokes, you taught me how to fly.



And as we flew, I saw the tears, I saw the tears of two

One I claimed to be my own, the other came from you

Can you see the seagull there, look up, and you will see

One set of wings is flying low; that seagull is me.



I can see the apple orchards left behind by you and me

I can see the comfort offered as I talked about the sea

Still the vision through my tears is empty every night

For I have lost my partner, and endure a lonely flight



We have flown a thousand skies, together, you and me

We have surveyed the garden, and sampled every tree

But people and their times are not forever one

And friendships are reduced to silhouettes against the sun.
