- The Sea Bird - Poem by Dmitriy Kokarev

Alone i sat beside the sea
Gazing out into the infinity
I never thought that this might be
Alone left pondering for an eternity

Along came waves, and pebbles flew
Some birds above me sang the blues
Out of despair into the sea a rock i threw
Since then i thought the world a burning fuse

I sat alone for quiet some time
Believing i was lost and betrayed
Until the bird from high above sat next to me picking at a lime

I sat and stared in wonder
Is this some sign from the realm of pity
A friend sent to me in this hour to keep me from tormented wander

I threw some bread crumbs
And spilled some water
The bird got scared and flew away

I left my place next to the sea
To walk away and try to see
Why was i feeling pretty low
And why the bird refused to eat the dough
