The Lark

(to Oohna, inspired by a collaboration)

Alleluia, intoned the lark,

for song can overcome the dark —

take it under your wings like wind

to soar through the bright canopy

and bring the light of hope across the land

in echo of the joy of morning trees.

Listen within to where your heart says, “hark”

and say amen — so you become the lark.
