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Diving fast with wings withdrawn,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.

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
