Why do you fly, lone traveller, <br />winging the surface of the dark water <br />When all have left and flown <br />to nest and home? <br />Yet you and I <br />driven by an unbridled longing <br />find freedome still to roam. <br />Swiftly the silent night descends <br />A chill wind whispers <br />that the sun's last rays have left our wanderings <br />too late, too late <br />You will fly before me, outsoar me <br />and be gone <br />But I will remember you, forever flying <br />over a dark and storm filled ocean <br />Into a vast and starry night.<br /><br />Josephine Collett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/solitary-gull/
