Daybreak
In the early hours of the day
I think of you who wandered off
to foreign shores and other arms
and wonder how you’ve been
Draped in a blanket
against the morning cold
I stare at the waves
collapsing on the beach
and watch another day begin
A gull cries harsh and loud
for no apparent reason
it seems
but I don’t know his mind either

Great last line: "...but I don’t know his mind either." So good!

This piece is filled with motion, little stops like "it seems" make you rethink your entire approach to the previous parts. Brilliant work Ms. Sterenborg.
