Gift of the Seagull A lonely seagull flies the winds Majestic..... gliding..... motionless wings A single screech sounds from the sky Come fly with me..... come here and fly......... My spritit floats to be a part I feel the beating of his heart My soul, one with this bird of seas Now knows what it means to fly free..... I feel the winds caress my soul I soar the winds, without a goal My being trembles of delight I know I received a gift this night The seagulls gift of soaring the sky The feeling of what it means to fly Munda |

Munda, This is awesome. I live on the coast and there are an abundance of Seagulls here. They are majestic and beautiful creatures. Sheila ...the earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the measure of our bodies are the same........... Joseph, Nez Perce Chief |

Munda - I have often wished I could fly like a bird - even if just for a moment - to soar through the sky. Birds are beautiful, magnificiant creatures. You did a great job on this. ...Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is.... Black Eagle Oglala Sioux holy man |

To soar like an Eagle To sing like a lark That's what I'd like as I sit in the park To drift and float freely In the blue sky's above That's what it's like When your world's full of love. Jon Great poem |

You are amazing, Munda! This is beautiful! You write an Epic and you still have inspiration left over to write a wonderful poem! Can you send your muse my way for a little bit?!!  Denise |

This poem created the sensation of flying for me..I too felt swept and carried by the wind and I loved the line I feel the winds caress my soul Great stuff! "What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies." -Aristotle |

O, how I yearn to be; O, dream, let me fly, To home my sights in, a mile high. --- I received a gift wth this poem. I needed some uplifting today. I feel what it means to fly again. Beautiful poem, Munda. ~Gene |

I got carried away with this one Munda....Very nice With wings to soar above the crowd. To sweep and dip and roll and sigh . Why is it that we cannot fly. |

Munda--Thanks for taking me flying with your words! I really enjoyed this poem; what wonderful imagery. "Unto thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night, the day; thou cans't not be false to any man."---Shakespeare |
