Skylarks Call Across Light of Morning

Skylarks Call Across Light of Morning 1-11-23 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Skylarks Call Across Light of Morning “Skylarks call across morning light” After cold quiet stills laughter In the deep shafts of ebony Matins roll away stubborn stones. Daylight spins on dawning’s spread wings, Skylarks call across morning light, “A kiss from the rose on the grey” Sun and fading stars paint the dawn. “Shattered grace falls in jagged nights” Yet morning chimes guide blinded eyes Skylarks call across morning light From somewhere behind the rainbow. In the dawn, love holds out a hand - “Echo in the sounds of silence” - Arms remember holding magic, Skylarks call across morning light.” “Skylarks call across the morning.” From Ash Groves – A Welsh folksong “Kiss from the rose on the grey” Seal from Batman Forever “Shattered grace falls in jagged nights.” From Poet’s album - Jericho Road “Echo in the sounds of silence. Paul Simon - Sounds of Silence album

Hey Sam, The imagery in this poem is striking, especially the depiction of skylarks calling across the morning light. It creates a vivid and picturesque scene...The subtle reference to love reaching out a hand in the dawn adds a touching element to the poem. It suggests a connection between nature and human emotions... nice flow to it also.. BOL in the contest..

Oh my, what a gorgeous quatern this is, dear Sam! Such profound wordsmithery you've showcased here whilst incorporating lyrical phrases from different artists too. I'm in awe of how well and effortlessly your lines flow, with beautiful refrains and depth of words.. The imagery that you've painted is so profound as well.. "In the deep shafts of ebony", "Daylight spins on dawning’s spread wings", "Sun and fading stars paint the dawn" And magic & love soar above all.. Wow, beautiful this is.. a fav
