Assisi Sunset (haiku)



Assisi sunset -
an exaltation of larks
welcome Francis home

(St. Francis died at sunset on October 3. Witnesses say that a flock - an exaltation - of larks gathered where he was dying and sang, even though larks are normally not about at that time of day. One of the most famous stories about him is his preaching to the birds.)

Pax et bonum
