Insight: Life of a Coastal Bird

Little coastal bird
dressed to a tee
give me some insight
into a world foreign to me

Little bird speaks
scooping a bug in his wing like hand
the world is filled with wonder
especially surrounded by sand

So many treasures
come in with each wave
some with delicious food
others sounding like an airwave

Running around
exercising with the wind
chasing small fish
hoping to seize them at the end

Flying now
joining others in the sky
enjoying the clouds
occasionally coming down to dive

The world of a bird
special to all who observe
enjoying the journey
and the opportunity to serve
