Notes About The Poem

Skylark

SKYLARK

Tenderness in the cotton powder skies above, fly little skylark
Within these clouds milky white, soaring through the veils of 
Nirvana, sing tiny song bird with graces flight of beauty beneath,
Sway against the canvas clarity, blanketed by crystal cleared blues
Hewes splendor divine!
Angled breezes usher currents of waved softness, uplifting,
Delicate wings spreading wide, embracing the dawn’s first
Rays of light, shimmering in the bursting brilliance's cast,
In reflective colors of God’s eternal rainbow, does it not
Shine so in perfections afterglow!
Glide ever freely on gossamer feathers appendages, as
Ivory vapors milt away separating in this rolling abyss 
Of atmospheric mists, drifting with elegance timeless
 Abandonment, carried upon the very breath of angels
 Frothy foam of spiritual faith!
Side shift morning’s skylark, between multi-colored shafts
 Streaming from heights glory of divinities finery, admits
Textures array cascading downwards, dissolving, vaporizing
Into the oceans aquatic spray of tranquility, lying underneath
The heavens magnificent horizon!
At twilight’s fading hour this graceful winged song bird
 Descends, unto the wilderness canopy evergreen.
Nestled amongst the leafy tree tops, lies her cradled
Nest of generations, sheltering those echoing
Voices yet to be heard, held captive within
Warmth’s birthing shells, beneath loving wings
Of graces mothering!
Harken the stirring within these egged time capsules,
What musical bursting shall greet the futures dawning,
Nay the harmony of perfections natural glory sing,
At the winged skylarks chorus soaring, to awaken
The sunrises majestic elegance!
Tenderness in the cotton powder skies above, fly little skylark
Within these clouds milky white, soaring through the vials of 
Nirvana, sing tiny song bird with graces flight of beauty beneath,
Sway against the canvas clarity, blanketed by crystal cleared blues
Hewes splendor divine!
