Alone i sat beside the sea <br />Gazing out into the infinity <br />I never thought that this might be <br />Alone left pondering for an eternity <br /> <br />Along came waves, and pebbles flew <br />Some birds above me sang the blues <br />Out of despair into the sea a rock i threw <br />Since then i thought the world a burning fuse <br /> <br />I sat alone for quiet some time <br />Believing i was lost and betrayed <br />Until the bird from high above sat next to me picking at a lime <br /> <br />I sat and stared in wonder <br />Is this some sign from the realm of pity <br />A friend sent to me in this hour to keep me from tormented wander <br /> <br />I threw some bread crumbs <br />And spilled some water <br />The bird got scared and flew away <br /> <br />I left my place next to the sea <br />To walk away and try to see <br />Why was i feeling pretty low <br />And why the bird refused to eat the dough<br /><br />Dmitriy Kokarev<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sea-bird/
