About the Poem
I live in the city and there always seems to be "noise." At times when my spirit needs a break and my eye catches a lonely seagull, my inner being reaches out to find silence and peace. What a gift to receive.
Gift Of The Seagull |
| by Munda |
| A lonely seagull flies the winds Majestic... soaring...gliding wings A single screech sounds from the sky Come fly with me... come here and fly My spirit floats to be a part I feel the beating of its heart My soul, one with this bird of sea Now knows the meaning to fly free I feel the winds caress my soul And soar the streams without a goal My being trembles of delight A treasure I received tonight The seagull's flight of soaring high The gift of what it means to fly |

Wow, this poem is great! I absolutely love it! It would seem nice to be free like that some day. if us humans can really just fly alongside the seagulls. It would be such a paradise. This Poem can only bring us hopes and dreams that one day. maybe. we all will find peace. I rate it. 9 out of 10.

this poem allowed me to think of someone rescuing you when you felt down,someone taking your had and saving you form your emptiness. this being accurate,i don't know, but to me the sign of a good poem is one than enables you interpret what you can and take from it what you will. great. thanks
Margaret
You've said so very much through your choice of words to give your poem it's special meaning. It reached right out and touched my heart. But more importantly, it gave me something beautiful to think about! Thank you

I like the meaning that I gather from reading the poem. I am sending it to my students so they use it as meaning to fly high for what they want out of life.

this is one of those rare poems that speak to ones soul. I like it for its simple beauty, sincerity and the sense of freedom and space that it evokes in me.

I really like this poem because it just. reaches out to me. Even though a seagull is usually just a dull bird, that you see almost everywhere, something that always blends in, Munda has made it into a really amazing thing.

What I liked about your work is the realness of it. Keep up the good work I look forward to reading more of your poems.

I really liked it because of the rhythm of the words were just like the rhythm of the sea banging on rocks when the tide comes in. It was a very emotional poem which a person can read over and over again and not be sick of.

excellent
Esasa
I think that this is a great poem. It's funny how sometimes we find the greatest peace in things that are so far away from us. Like the seagull that you saw. There was no way that you can ever be that seagul. but its a blessing to imagine the peace that that seagul has.
leticia
One of the best poems I have read.

Munda: I really enjoyed this poem. One's mind and spirit taking in a vicarious adventure of freedom is seemingly, simple, yet complex, as everyone has to deal with the realities of life. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Freedom from our live's realities can be a sweet, and uplifting experience;)
