dreams
like beautiful white seabirds
rise up
above the ocean’s shore
weightless
their wings sparkle
glinting
with salt and dawn-light
they sail
through morning fog
calling softly to the cliffs
to the pines that hold the sky aloft
when they descend .
to marry with the sea
each wave below
seems to fondle them
then lifts them to ascend —
as if the sea itself knows
their life to be on high
to circle where gulls cry
where the wind carries whispers
of what we once dared to be —
…free
and for a breathless moment
we rise with them —
soaring — shining
part of everything
that cannot be caged
celebrating hollow bones…
and freedom
