The Seagull and the Sea
High above the endless blue, a lone seagull soared effortlessly, wings stretched wide, catching the wind with the grace of instinct. Below her, the ocean shimmered in hues of silver and sapphire, breathing with the tide, rising and falling like the chest of a sleeping giant.
The seagull was not young, but she was strong. Her feathers were weathered by salt and sun, each one a mark of survival. She knew these waters better than most—where the fish gathered, where the waves broke hardest, where the ships left trails of foam across the horizon.
Yet today, she did not hunt. She drifted.
Beneath her, the sea whispered. It spoke not in words, but in rhythm. It hummed through the crash of waves, the hiss of foam, the far-off cry of other birds. The seagull listened, not just with her ears, but with her whole being. She had always belonged to the sky, but the sea had shaped her.
There was a time, not long ago, when she flew with others. A flock. A family. They wheeled together over cliffs and coastlines, calling to each other across the gusts. But the winds of life scatter even the closest wings. Storms come. Seasons pass. Some leave and never return.
Still, the sea remained.
To the seagull, the ocean was more than a place—it was a presence. Constant, changing, powerful, and patient. It never asked questions, never judged her when she flew low, tired from chasing things she couldn’t catch. It only waited, reflecting the sky, embracing the moon, welcoming her shadow again and again.
Sometimes, she wondered what it would be like to live in the deep. Not to fly, but to float. To sink into silence and drift with the currents. But that was not her nature. She was made for air, for wind and height, for flight. Still, the sea was her mirror, her memory, and perhaps, her only true companion.
The sun dipped lower, and the sky turned amber. Shadows lengthened across the waves. The seagull tilted her wings and glided downward, toward a jagged rock rising from the surf. She landed softly, folding her wings with care.
Around her, the world exhaled.
She watched the sea as it turned golden, then grey. She watched until stars began to blink above and the tide kissed the stones below. The sea didn’t mind her silence. And she, in turn, didn’t mind its endless motion.
Perhaps this was what peace looked like—not in stillness, but in rhythm. Not in solitude, but in quiet understanding.
The seagull closed her eyes.
And the sea kept breathing.
