the summer breeze

on the very memory branch of life’s tree
spying on a network of dear essence!...

dear Lord
i found
a skylark
in the
robin's nest
i thought
blue robin eggs
oh what
little clouds of joy
they bring
skylark in the robin's Nest...

we might hear seasons
winter gales… spring song…
are we listening…
skylark waking dawn… daylight
nightingales… dusk lullabies...

If a skylark flies ten thousand 
feet 
above the uncaring world
Has not that lark ten thousand 
feet,
faster with every whirl,
To fall 
and smash in pieces on the 
ground....

Clad in beauty of  babbling brooks
The rustling trees, the smiling flowers
Like a skylark his words fly higher and higher
His poems smile and say YES
To the spring sky, freedom and tenderness...

the heart of the skylark
rest upon her wings
that stand
shoulder to shoulder
between this
heaven and this earth again
shall not break free from
this bondage of heaven again...

the skylark chirps

  of amorous refrains

    mellow as night…

 a winged hymn echoing 

tales of my deepened woes

The skylark

The bird that climbs up in the sky
And looks as if it had angels wings
I ask myself why
How beautiful she sings
Is it gods way of telling us
The beauty he brings
And that's Just one of many things...

She loved the skylark
And she loved the grub
She didn't love me
Therein lie the rub

I penned her sonnet
On scented paper
She set it aflame -
Vanished in vapor

THE FALL OF THE EMPIRE



The empire of the empyrean
Is swallowing up the remains of our day
While we rebuild our empty sandcastle walls

And outrun the swiftest  skylark
In a plunge to the gates already closing out
The dawdling dwindling light....

In the air far away
I saw Lark today
Free flying between the trees
I caught a glimpse of her wings
High in a Suns' ray

Here she comes to me
Moving light and free
It seems like time just stands still
Could this be a dream or real
Lark came back for me...

To the surroundings of
Sunset Park
Do lovers succumb to
after dark
When they, on a romance,
wish to embark
Looking to further it, by
creating a spark
All the while, going through
the motions, like a skylark
From being, Ever so grateful,
to make Their mark...

A world of sunshine 
Awaits the silver chirpy 
skylark perched on grey  scale branch 
as golden mornings 
usher in their spectral hue
that filter through the seamless 
mesh or float of rafts 
on green leaf bird house chant flock 
whose silken strain enchants me...

You walked with me
when it was pitch-dark.
How do I find you in light ?

        *

These were the last roses,
for you. Henceforth 
no water will flow from the eyes.

        *

Only your face will swim 
on the nippy moon;
burning skylark.

Happy pelican
eating an enormous fish
see his pouch bulging

Merry kingfisher
waiting on his pole for fish
he darts and spears one

Full of joy and fun
the skylark warbles in glee
delight in each note

Fearsome eagle drops
plummeting down like a stone
striking hard he kills...

The lilac laced cup
Smile travels towards a laugh
A tale looking up

Warmth in the first sip
Shadows from your joy and grief
At play in your lips

Shadows dim and dark
Flies into fog a skylark
Still the crimson sparks

miss your sweet chirping
where are you perching?
tiny bird cute and lovely 
soar in sky once more 
trick flight we adore
singing and throwing googly!

in greens hide away
humans have less sway
make for loss of habitat
but preserve your class
moor, dune, farm or grass  
but sing again ta ta tat!...

Beating wings of gold,
To his breast they fold.
From the heights now descending,
Soaring on winds fair.
Joys of life declare
The skylark's songs unending.

In the meadow sweet,
Comes their call to greet
The new morning wet with dew.
Swaying on a reed,
Seeing my deep need
With my dreams away he flew.......

I watched the skylark in his rising

In exultation, high he flew

Exuding joy and pure elation,

I wished to be that happy too.
