Skylarks After the Storm

Morningsong delight

for Isle of the Right;

trumpets' troubled notes of rain

led by a drumline

marching out of time,

flying above the terrain

Lightning edges flash

blink of an eyelash

Waterfalls beckon the flock

to bathe in the sun

The war must be won

before one man stops the clock

Miniature kites

tumble from the sky,
larks pirouette 'round corners

spreading their goodwill

throughout vale and hill,

messaging beyond borders

Harbingers of peace

warn wars meant to cease

The world has been mismanaged

Fire spits from within

to mend what's fallen,

gold leaf to fill cracks damaged

Resolve unsurpassed,

each man and each lass -

heed the call to assemble

Gentler leadership

greater fellowhip,

gleaned when earth Tuesay trembled
