If I will be a gull, 
I won't need words -
only the call of the sea beneath me, 
the pull of waves that rise and fall, 
their eternal rhythm like a heartbeat, 
I was never meant to understand. 
The sky will be my only law, 
vast and boundless, 
and I will slip between the clouds, 
like a memory never meant to last.

No longer will my wings bear the weight 
of thought or fear; 
I won't wonder or wander lost. 
I'll know only the way of the wind, 
its cool breath beneath me, 
guiding me onward without question. 
And when the sun falls low, 
I will dive into its fading light 
and disappear into the colors of dusk, 
dissolving into the wide horizon.

If I will be a gull, 
I'll be free -
not in the way of those who run, 
but in the way of those who rise 
and never return.
