Song of the Skylarks

SONG OF THE SKYLARKS Oh, freedom is full-flung unbounded: Riding the light wind’s wave On invisible surf crest, Diving fast with wings withdrawn, Beating down the air and gliding at full speed, Floating, rolling, soaring into the sun: Tireless, ever hovering unbonded. Cradled in the bosom of the air, Sleeping on the wing over the dark earth; Necks a-stretch in formation heading south : Pointing down a sure course, Driving hard, bound for home. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Entered in Debbie Guzzi's Contest - Flying

well now dear...you know i love you but a poem on flight about birds...way too easy for you!!! Nothing at all is wrong with it it is just too brief and about birds when your fertile mind could have flown anywhere? light & love
