seagulls pull the sun of mourning
up into the starless sky
flawless skin set free of midnight
taught against the azure heights
foaming waves and swirling sand grains
calmed upon her soft approach
settle into morning's daybreak
braced against the coming cold
a million stars to chase her warmth
and barely light the darkened sky
where one once flared a burning love
sit countless others counting time
between the twilight and night
passion burns away to quiet

seagulls pull the sun of mourning
up into the starless sky
flawless skin set free of midnight
taught against the azure heights
foaming waves and swirling sand grains
calmed upon her soft approach
settle into morning's daybreak
braced against the coming cold
a million stars to chase her warmth
and barely light the darkened sky
where one once flared a burning love
sit countless others counting time
between the twilight and night
passion burns away to quiet
