On the platinum sand,

A gull stands to cry,

The beautiful seunset

Passing him by.

Ignorant to the world,

Alone in his grief,

The seagull flies

In his beak

I tropical wreath.

On the old man's grave

In the dark,

The shadows

The colors of the flowers as stark as golden arrows.

The seagull sobbed

Humpelbien was his name

For this is were

His friend is lain,

The man that nursed him

Back to health

And helped him gain

His former wealth.

Humpelbien weeps

Until sunleight

Creeps to warm the grave

But

not

his

heart.
