Who Shall Command the Skylark Not to Sing[i]…

An evocative and poignant poem, by Dr. Molly, celebrating nature and hope, exclusively for Different Truths.

Sing it must, 
           the skylark 
facing the sun, 
         not turning back
not looking at its 
            own shadow
where the world grows 
            and shrinks
as per its whim…
 
           facing the sun
it travels 
          with the wind
on its face…
 
in cool acceptance, 
          nothing holds
you down… 
 
the sun no longer
              the caster
of shadows
          but radiance
sheer radiance…
         clearing up
worlds anew 
             afresh...

[i] Khalil Gibran
