The Morning Lark

Tony Grannell

Awoken in flight
up yonder and sing.
The lark of the morn
on song and a wing.

To hover on high,
arise and rejoice.
Oh joyous your song,
the morning in voice.

The dawning in verse
your music has stirred
the light of the day
on wings of a bird.

O’er farmer and field,
o’er shepherd and herd.
The song of the lark,
the morning is heard.

A prince of the sky
a singing with glee.
The lark of the morn,
good morning to thee.

    Tony this brings back memories of childhood, times carefree, Clean air, early morn on fields dirt trails, ant hills and grasshoppers in the foxtails. An old apricot tree that belonged to no one but us kids where we parked our tree house. I hear that same lark now too but it brings back those memories. Thanks for the memories Tony

      You are very welcome, Soren.
      Your memories are very similar to mine and yet thousands of miles apart - wild and carefree. Your lovely words are in a word, lovely, truly.

      Do take care now,

      Tony.

            And good morning to thee, my dear Tony. What a lovely poem to wake up to and read. The songbirds music has perked my ears and lifted my heart, and for that, I am grateful (unlike Juliet who hoped for the nightingale...lol). Wonderful, wonderful job, and a gloriously beautiful day to you, my friend.πŸŒΉπŸ‘

              Good afternoon, Tristan from a thirty eight degrees centigrade, Valencia.

              To lift one's heart is joy personified and filled with joy, I am. Thank you ever so much for your lovely response.

              Fond regards,

              Tony.

                Valencia sound great! It was 28 degrees here in Pennsylvania USA and muggy. I don't mind heat, but man the humidity can kill. LOL! Anywho, you are most welcome, my friend.
