Gift Of The Seagull
by Munda
A lonely seagull flies the winds
Majestic... soaring...gliding wings
A single screech sounds from the sky
Come fly with me... come here and fly

My spirit floats to be a part
I feel the beating of its heart
My soul, one with this bird of sea
Now knows the meaning to fly free

I feel the winds caress my soul
And soar the streams without a goal
My being trembles of delight
A treasure I received tonight

The seagull's flight of soaring high
The gift of what it means to fly

this is one of those rare poems that speak to ones soul. I like it for its simple beauty, sincerity and the sense of freedom and space that it evokes in me.

I really like this poem because it just. reaches out to me. Even though a seagull is usually just a dull bird, that you see almost everywhere, something that always blends in, Munda has made it into a really amazing thing.

I really liked it because of the rhythm of the words were just like the rhythm of the sea banging on rocks when the tide comes in. It was a very emotional poem which a person can read over and over again and not be sick of.
