Late night's ride home...

Traveling home after

Days spent traveling away

So good for the soul to see familiar sites

Lights and faces when you walk through the door

Home is where you heal

And restore, and prepare

For yet another trip away.

White Gull

A white gull in February
Soaring above the ice, and foraging for shell fish.

A white gull in July
Soaring above the parking lot, scouring for dropped burgers and fries.

What makes the white gull in February beautiful?
And the gull in July so plain?

I've come to the conclusion today, that it has
Nothing to do with the gull.
