Skylark
Amanda Morris
Tell me,
Did you dance upon the
Edge of day’s light,
Bathed radiant in the
Milk of stars-
Dancing down the paths of haven?
Moon child,
Tell me,
Did you fall for a
Shooting star
Dancing on the arms of your
Dark man-
Dear child turn and turn to the
Milky Way and
Tell me,
Did you watch dreams fly
Like a thousand-pattern butterfly,
Released from the hands of your Dark Man?
Radiant Silver Child
Tell me,
Did you remember
Your birth
While you were looking for
Yourself-
Out there.
