Seabird,are you lonely

When I hear you cry in the night?

Are you forced to live in the vastness

Forever crying your plight?



My soul would like to fly with you

soaring aloft in a storm

Over the restless ocean

Toward the coming dawn.



Do you pity this world of mankind

Scorning its mindless folly,

Keeping to the rocks of fastness

Where waves crash their ceaseless volley?



When you start your morning's searching

For food,at some river's mouth,

Do your wings love the feel of the wind

As the gales blow in from the south?



I lie here in the dark and I'm wondering....

Do you cry your love of freedom

Over the sleeping shores?

Have you alone kept your Eden?



Or,condemned to an endless vastness,

With wings weary of flight,

Seabird,are you lonely

When I hear you cry in the night?
