Swooping out of the sun

I should say like a bird of prey

But I dislike this sentiment

With the familiar sound

Of your ancient engines

Entertaining the beach below

How lovely you are

Is this a good line

As I am treating you

Like a beautiful woman

Can mechanical things be beautiful 

This is question I can feel 

But not answer
