A lark on the air (majestic life)

Like a lark on the air

you rise and soar

riding the wind

heart full

of breaking and longing

after the deepest descent into the crevice

scoured out by

your sorrow

Once again

after all of these waves have taken you under

you return to earth

and as difficult as breathing is

somedays

now that you undoubtedly know

have fully navigated and discovered

the necessity

of surrender

this majestic flight

will be your blessing

Even as you remember those many nights

when dreaming took you even further

into the hidden depths

of dakest indigo

as there slowly time

and love’s forebearance

transformed your soul

and every drop of blood was squeezed

from your heart

No longer will you allow this ache

to stop you from loving

trick you into surrendering your passion

No longer will you ransom life

to death’s dark and icy grip

Now that

you fully know

the gifts and sweetness of sorrow

your heart has found

a new way to embrace

a brighter tomorrow

discovering solid ground under your feet

a freer place to breathe

a new and present way to open your heart

to the coming gifts

and blessings of this

oh so vulnerable

tender

and majestic life
