high above the waves
a seagull's faint cry
gazing down at the world
eyes clouded by pain
her treasured egg
weakened by the vanity
that dwells in the cold heart
of mankind
no desire to fly
no will to guard
letting go
her wings limp at her sides
falling
the tears of her child
rocking her to sleep
the Seagull of Eternity
is gazing no more
and her egg
left exposed
in out greedy hands
world,
death,
humanity,
