Ballad of Love and Death (bonus track)

An old gull fell into the sea, Completing his life's path, Hard to believe – just a minute ago, He was content and alive. Hard to believe – just a minute ago, He was soaring with inspiration, And his deeply experienced, aged gaze, Was burning with a love for life. Somewhere, his beloved is waiting, Anxiously turning her beak, Waiting and worrying – what if he falls, Just a little bit short of the mark. The young mate of the old gull, Despite the difference in years, With a cascade of tender feelings, Like a mother with her infant, Showered him, whispering of love, And the gull in return, To the best of his ability, gave her a kiss, And the triumph of love, Could have borne fruit Had it not been for death Had it not been for death...
