"THE SINGING SEAGULLS"

"BREATHE THE SALTY AIR SIGH DREAM"

By Vicki Lawana Trusselli Published 2 years ago 1 min read

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.

    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!
