Hive Open Mic, week 38. Song Of The Lark by Tchaikovsky

Chirping and chattering in a lonesome tree, why do you sing oh lark. What makes you chatter a dart about. Pouncing from limb and branch then hurling yourself towards the earth before taking to the sky. Oh that you would stay a while and sing one more tune or chatter once more at me. Oh why must you go oh lark.
Ode To The Lark by James M Vines

With this poem, I begin my publication for this week’s Hive Open Mic 38. Solo ... When a person, like this poet, James M. Vines wants the lark to be present just a little bit more. Why the lark has to go? Is he staying alone now and the lark was his only company?

So many people nowadays are living alone. The elderly people, when the children go to their own way. The busy, working person who has no time for the family. Or a person left alone by its life partner. Who knows how many other reasons are there, but one is for sure. It can not be a very pleasant feeling if you liked so much the presence of the other person. Right?

On the other hand, some people choose the path of solitude on their own. I guess that there is a dose of freedom that only you can achieve on your own. Seeking your own success, without someone else's help, cannot be easy. But in the end, if the goals are achieved, the feeling of satisfaction is strong, that you have succeeded alone.

Certainly, that feeling of satisfaction and pleasure would be nicer to share with a loved one. We are created as individuals, but to share with others our feelings and thoughts. And music.

Today for #openmic, I share with you a Song of the Lark, composed by Piotr Ilich Tchaikovsky. This is a short piano solo work, pretty fast but so funny to play. I hope you will like it. Greetings
