Albatross

I would spread my wings

Like the Albatross of old

And fly away above the oceans

Leaving behind the continents

I would soar in the storms

Without any respite nor repose

For amusement I would follow

Playing frisky dolphin pods 

And disappear on the high horizon

From the deep blue of the South Pacific

To the green waters of the China sea

I would criss cross the milky sky

Listening to the haunting song

Of the humpback whales 

Searching for their mates

Once tired I would fold my wings

And rest , rocked gently to sleep

By the swelling waves.
