Message from the seagulls....

I see around me so many instances, of folks occupying something they are not meant to. Happens all the time. Particularly amongst the power types.

And then there are folks like my friend Sylvia, who go out on a trip to the waterfront and enjoy a lunch, on a drab and grey Seattle day; and click photos of seagulls doing something similar.

Nature has so many messages for us. If we only had time to listen ....

Places bordering water ,
and
some bordering land,
Chain link fences :
separating,
those
that peacefully
sail through life,
enjoying
the company
of sometimes similar folks,
and those that
trespass
and cause trouble
in places
they shouldn't
be found in...

The bird of peace,
flew in
to urge the other
to vacate
the chair;
you didn't occupy
something meant for others....

The erring bird
agreed,
turned right,
and took off.

Unlike, some,
who trespassed ,
stayed put,
presumably hidden,
were warned,

and were finally shot away.
