"Larks Ascent"

 

A bevy of larks

Fly as if disturbed

From reed' fields

By the rumble

Of a distant volcano

With high priority

They survey

Contours of translucent earth

Coursing the sky

With the steadied ease

Of a sluggish barge

Steering

Between sun

And obsidian clouds

As if avoiding

A butterfly hunters gauze

I think you must have written this as you watched the larks. Perfectly said.

I can see the Larks flying from the field of reeeds, to escape the noise of the distant rumble of the volcano. Nice images here Tinka, thank you for sharing.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), little sister, Barbie
