Mysteries of nature.

The lark sings 

in the willow tree 

where the river runs. 

. 

Sweetly in tune 

(for him nature provides) 

so much more than I 

this little thing. 

. 

Where does he perch in the evening 

so silent then, 

hiding from those who would 

cut short his song? 

. 

Is it then 

a song he sings 

or, for me, a futile cry? 

. 

So silent becomes the willow tree 

when, like a phantom, 

the lark is gone.
