  Gift of the Gulf Gull today I sat upon the beach my heart open for natures reach vastness of the gulf’s glory sweetness in its blue story then a sound heard from above echoed true understanding of when I heard, I was startled at first then lulling me, quenching my thirst it was the sound a gull makes as it soars over waves wakes I heard the sound, it was clear pulling me in, pulling me near it was the purest sound of laughter the simple joy we chase after blue vastness of a gulf remote laughter’s gift… a soul in float pictures provided by Bernie Slicker taken on Bradenton Beach on 7-27-01 "...the rest is silence" (Hamlet) Shakespeare [This message has been edited by 1slick_lady (edited 07-28-2001).] |

I didn't get to see the pics, but the poem is quite fine...it pulled me back to a time, stepping out of the car in a supermarket parking lot. Someone was laughing, uproariously and I could see no one around that might share the joy or the joke. the laughter did not stop, I finally looked up and there atop the lamp post, high above the blacktop, a gull filled with utter delight in the day, I'd say. That was the first time it sounded as if a laugh to me. Glad you've heard it, too, cuz you've made such a lovely piece here. |

The ocean is one of the most perfect places of peace in all of creation. Your poem is a beautiful reminder of this. Deb |
