In Angelic Joy
The Sea Gulls
Huddled in clusters
along the small lake’s shore,
they rose and took flight
like a white rose opening
suddenly in air;
together they swooped over,
then, closing again,
became a ball of light
which exploded
and fell earthward
on the distant rim,
a fireworks shattering
in phosphorescent glee,
a cascade of luminous, angelic joy.
