Skylarks

.

This new painting was inspired in reverse by Colin Pink's poem. Read on..


Aerial Song

The thistledown floats in the air, idles, adrift on hidden currents,
in no hurry to land and seed. The skylarks take to the air, filling

the sky with trilling song as they flutter upwards, ever upwards,

spiralling into the heavens’ blue embrace, singing ardent arias

overspilling the senses. Their voice grows louder and louder

as they get smaller and smaller, the merest speck in the sky,

the merest speck, almost lost to vision, until at the very point

of vanishment, they turn wing back to earth, plunge down

through that spiral stair carved from the air, to glide and land

upon the sullen earth, quiet now, all song gone.
