Apassianato

                   Apassianato

The skylark’s struggle is its fluttering

Or so it looks.  The skylark’s flying seems

To be a form of airborne stuttering

At best upon on the slightest breezy streams

Of air, yet even so near halting moves

And swoops predict a victory because

Indeed determined.  Singing movement proves

By its persistence it will beat the laws

Of ordinary worries.  Windless days

Appear to give the same amount of threat

As troubled ones.  Yet still the lyric phrase

Continues unperturbed without a fret.

..The singing and the anxious flying twine

….Together like a duet tuned to shine.
