The Various Callings Found Seaside.

Each time I hear them
they sound so different to me.
As a child it was as if
the gulls were laughing,
with delight at all the wonders
of the shore and its delectable treats.
Ice cream cones and sandwich crust
tossed in the air as they swooped
to claim each tidbit,
in a flurry of feathers.

As a poet it was
the song of the sea.
A melody of two notes
shrill and clear,
against the synthesized roar
of the waves endless rhythms.
While the bright babble
of eight notes
crescendoed from the
sunbathers voices of glee,
over the vast waters
that separate us
from distant lands.

When I was in love,
as we strolled hand in hand
along the shore they seemed
to circle us above,
in a  most heavenly display
of how our own two hearts
fluttered and soared,
on the heated winds.
Over the heated passion of
beauty magnified against
a horizon of forever.

But when I was alone,
seeking fellowship with
the vast emptiness
that the ocean portrays,
the seagulls calls were
wails of despair,
echoing through my soul
in a cacophony of
"Why me, Why me."
Yet even still their
companionship was comforting
in contrast to the
vacant space at my side.

*there was failure to fade on the end,
