A sky bird
At dusk
Gliding with
Outstretched wings
Above the sea

Shade
Among shadows
Reflection on water
Face or figure
A sound of sighing
In the passing breeze

You haunt the air
In the waking hours
Respect no walls
Bars or doors

Always you offend
A stolid man’s solitude
As if it were a sin
To be alone

this whole 'write' is fine ! ...

however, I am especially fond of the ending:

"You haunt the air
  In the waking hours
  Respect no walls
  Bars or doors

  Always you offend
  A stolid man’s solitude
  As if it were a sin
  To be alone"

sustained applause for this 'penning' !!
