Where The Wild Gulls Fly Poem by Valerie Dohren
Where The Wild Gulls Fly
O lift me high upon the wind,
To where the wild gulls fly -
Above the mighty ocean’s swell,
Across the sapphire sky.
My refuge be the sailing ships
Which brave the raging seas,
And isles adorned with swaying Palms,
My heart to thus appease.
Then circling high above the storms
Of life’s beleaguered trail -
O carry me to distant shores,
To fly o’er hill and vale.
The wild gulls cry, the sweetest sound,
Is calling, calling me -
And I shall follow where they lead,
To where I shall be free.
O lift me high upon the wind,
To where the wild gulls fly -
Beyond all things that serve to bind,
Above the earth, so high.
And higher still to realms unknown
To mortal man below -
Behold the sun, behold the moon,
And dawn’s soft afterglow.
May air as sweet as angels’ breath
Caress me as I soar -
To feel nirvana’s soft embrace,
Enfold me evermore.
I have never thought the sea gulls could fly so well. I would like to presume one Valerie from Southport could give them a great company.. I am afraid to fly unlike you and Valsa though.
Is there any subject you cannot make into a beautiful rhyme? I think not; this one is really peaceful.....
I love the cry of the gulls - something mystical about them. Such a good poem, I can almost feel the salty spray of the sea.
Such a lovely poem. Reminds me of my home in Galveston. Which I always long for, but now is somewhat a sadder place.
Such a lovely poem.... I was imagining myself in this poem :) Great penning!
