A Skylarks kiss upon my gentle pillow
Lonely and yet happy in its soul
Its mellow song softly enters
A sweet cadence, a floating beauty.
A dance of delicate delights,
Wakes me from such deep reverie,
Eyes now open, glancing bright
New born with feathered dreams.
Sunlight tinkles through my shadows,
New paths lit by a sensual verve
Reach out with a fascinated, flawed, footstep,
As my Skylark guides the way.
My life's muse now writes itself,
I'm led to my spoken unknown destiny.
Uncovered eyes now looking clear,
Deep within my undaunted flowing brook.
A simple song of Skylarks,
Revealed a gentle pillows song,
Awakened and slowly uncoiling,
A journey, the story it now unfolds.

Wow. That was absolutely beautiful. Truly a stunning piece of work you have created here, Dad. I love the choice of words that you selected to use, it definitely added to the flow.

Nice, I like the image of the skylark and the sweet sentiment throughout the poem. Most of your images are pure and clean, like the tone of your poem, such as "A dance of delicate delights, wakes me from such deep reverie". I think the format you wrote in was a little limiting though, you could have branched past the 4 line stanzas to be even more unique in your writing.
Thank you for the entry,
