Dawn wings over with seagulls
seagulls scatter light
light is caught in the eye
the eye opens the mind

the mind tags a word
words that say 'it is day'
day and light returning
returning yet quite new

quite new, yet also another
another chance to take
take by making a gift
gift of what I am

I am my own creator
creator of what I do
what I do without fail
not fail to reach the mark

mark my words as seagulls
gulls prise open shells
shells secrete the pearl
pearl of wisdom dawning.
