Separate spaces, United hearts
Sperate the spaces,
Tracking our traces
We're not ever far apart,
The finest composed
Written with our prose
We'll sing slow songs of the heart
Feelings of freedom
Subset is seldom
Distancing, us from the start
Dissolve all the years
Bandage all our fears
Brought this harmony so smart

Christmas Alouette
Glittering lights shine
Is this just a sign?
I believe He is alive
Singing grace divine
Breath soft on the pine
Merry hearts always survive
Christmas in the heart
Where joy and hope start
I believe God’s Son was born
On that silent night
When hearts were made right
Because our souls He’d adorn

Shadow In Self Alouette
The midnight tossing
with next light browsing
throughout the dream — where floor breaks
but the dragging lasts,
an impression past
the shadow within that frays
the little girl's spur
and the woman's lure —
the nimbus from her steps born
from heaven's dark gaze —
approaching her gait...
her shadow, a braid for morn.

An Autumn Alouette
By my window low
warm wind stops to blow.
Tune of rustling leaves I hear.
Sky gleams blue delight
cloud turns feather white.
I listen fall's footfall clear.
Trees soak colors fine
from the twilight shine
as the spent sun starts to set.
When the day dawns new
from crowned meadow's dew
autumn's radiance I get.

A Morning Alouette
Greet this lovely morn!
A bright day is born.
Sun is on diurnal shift
Birds take on their wing
Soaring high, they sing.
In the sky, vagrant clouds drift.
The dale, dressed in style
Fragrant flowers smile
In me waves of pure joy rise.
Wind tousles my curls
Great beauty unfurls
Here’s another paradise!

Autumn Alouette
Autumn Alouette
Autumn slips away -
Pearly mists of grey
Settle on the scarlet leaves;
Fields now seem forlorn
Gone the wheat and corn
Bundled into golden sheaves.
Daylight seems to mourn
Passing days and storms
Umber glories litter streets;
Crystal frost now plays
In a pumpkin haze
After days of solstice heat.

A Thorn Alouette
You don't ever pierce
Though your look is fierce
Each rose is safe in your hold.
Green snakes scroll around.
Flies move with no sound
In heat and cold, you stand bold.
As rose buds feel dread
Your sharp claws you spread
Are you their unseen backbone?
Each rose fades and falls
When Time, from far, calls
Do you mourn for them alone?

A Winter Alouette
Winter winds how cold
with blinding snow bold,
skip us; I demand thee!
See the white flakes dance,
while yards they romance.
Winter days make scarce and flee.
Psychotic cold breeze
broken limbs dry freeze.
Vacant and hollow air spins.
Air is cold by light,
and chilled more by night.
Winter depression begins.

ALOUETTE
ALOUETTE
A tremulous violin rises into the sky
Leaving its thoughtful melodic trail
Faint echoes of English countryside
And for this listener, evoking pride
The lark still ascending, tells its tale
We’re left in tears and all know why
As I experience the Lark Ascending
A haunting, evocative arrangement
Describing a gentle fluttering of wings
The emotions that the melody brings
Wistful and feeling such contentment
The

Alouette, Skylark
Alouette, skylark
Get home; it's past dark
Nighttime has fallen too soon!
Alouette, so late
Fly away home, straight!
Fly by the light of the moon.
Dinnertime, skylark
Past time to embark,
Fly away, fly straight ahead!
Little ones pleading,
In need of feeding,
Tuck all the children in bed!

Gardens At Keukenhoff Alouette
Gardens at Keukenhoff (Alouette)
As the tulips rise
With their sweet surprise
Fragrance permeates the air
Colors cover land
From God's divine hand
In these gardens we all share.
Such astounding views
Come enjoy the hues
As varied blossoms cascade.
Seek a bench to gaze
At the mirror maze
With lush tulips on parade.

E N J O Y - the Alouette Style
~ Enjoy ~
(Alouette)
Take a moment now
To breathe deep that's how
Pause smell sometimes the roses
Smell coffee today
Spare a minute too
Enjoy before day closes
Just see more again
Sit back relax brain
Look at the beauty around
So much beauty's there
Many things to share
Enjoy all good things you've found.

Summer Solstice - Alouette
Watch the sun appear
On this Solstice clear
Over Stonehenge monoliths.
Sing the sacred song
Honoring the throng
Of the ancient spirit’s gifts.
Let the sun stand still
As we feel the thrill
Of Midsummer’s energy.
Summer has begun
Now our hearts are one
As we mark in harmony
Power of the sun
That our Solstice's spun,
We gather to celebrate.
Let us be aware
Of the love we share
Where still

November Chill -Alouette-
November is here
the weather is clear
the Fall leaves are strewn around
parents teach their brood
the birds look for food
soon frost will be in the ground.
Still air holds a chill
the birds get their fill
soon the flakes will be falling
warm breezes don't flow
ready to let go
and Winter will be calling.
