. A seagull With outstretched wings Glides across the blue Unplanned seen Through a window Something not quite surprise And yet more than You would have known Had you not for a moment Turned from what is usual Broken absent mindedly From a path oblivious Of its end To gaze without intent Seeking no riches or miracles Ah poor traveler half blinded By years in complacent company Such treasures are strewn Across our lives . |

A treasure indeed! I enjoyed the analytical pondering immensely too – and yes, most company is complacent, but that doesn’t mean that we have to be too, and the more we open our eyes, the more treasures we will see – but then, from your exquisite and finely-crafted poetry, I know that I am preaching to the converted.

What a jewel this is, John. One of those "teasures strewn across our lives." Ida |
