The song of the lark*
Light speeds forward to find the distant dark.
“Becoming”, an illusion of an end,
and a forest bows to a single spark.
Like all life was preserved within an ark
True meaning from cold logic does transcend.
Light speeds forward to find the distant dark.
Without illusion life is much too stark,
And life does only kindly death portend
And a forest bows to a single spark.
About whom should our victories now remark?
Perhaps the losers we had best defend.
Light speeds forward to find the distant dark.
The war of life often is much too stark
For peace and love freely to them extend
And the forest bows to a single spark.
Watch the upward singing song of the lark
On journeys of illusion now embark.
Light speeds forward to find the distant dark
And a forest bows to a single spark.
