Skylark

Skylark I sail with you as the morning breaks the sky and sun cuts through like dancing diamonds cruising the aqua sea. Axis on a wheel of lonely flight I offer you these hours of dark nights for those whose lives are solitary too. Beethoven I turn up on the patio, higher and higher for you to hear the magnificence. But you advance to dive and catch a beetle or a sticky fly. You prefer to offer them to your female while ignoring this striking opus.

Congrats on the feature. The skylark (alauda) an interesting bird. They named a Buick after him. In the Navy, if your mind was soaring instead of paying attention you were said to be "skylarking." Nice write.
