“Lark Ascending"



We sleep 
through 

the worst of it all, 
snake bit

prospects thin 
sometimes we give 

sometimes we give in
our losses add credits to the win

we keep warm our dreams
hold close our transparent lost loves 

as if they will never leave
that we may be given some cruel kindness

that we may give folly’s chance
forgiveness, a peaceful reprieve

We sleep 
through

the worst of it all
mostly vacant

we the constant 
push the believe

there is hope held in love's heart
disparate with dark night's wandering in sleep 

in the widening smile 
of day-breaking light

we embrace the ever fixed mark
we raise our eyes tempests to the shine

we remain unshaken 
standing firm in numbers

not judging love too harshly 
nor loving the judgement 

fueled by the reckless 
speaking of tongues

the mindless dross of whispering,
diablos in the ignorant misunderstanding

we look to the North 
of bitter disenchantment

“it is the star to every wandering bark
whose worth’s unknown”

“within his bending 
sickle’s compass comes”

the sun will always rise
just as the singing lark ascends

(LadyLabyrinth / 2021)
