Bird Watch Poem by Laurence Overmire

Bird Watch

BIRD WATCH

If I could catch the glint
In a seagull's eye
I might know the mystery
Of this ocean haven

Giving and forgiving
A piece meal existence
On a speeding draft of air

Soaring high above
The mysterious depths below
And coming home to rest

Wherever fortune takes its landing
On a rolling wave, a craggy rock
Or a rooftop's weather-worn edge
Sloping gently to the sea.

~ Laurence Overmire
