And then it was darkness.
Deafening silence spread across the land
As the night Sparrow settled down.
She waited and waited for cheers and choruses of claps,
echoing praises and shards of happiness to be struck into her
But she waits.
And then Luna rised from beneath the blue waters
Insanity begun
And so begins your song.
Dear little Night Sparrow,
Can you sing to the light of the moon?
Do your feet click and tap with every minute that you stare upon her?
For the world seems clear and quiet as you wait day after day.
Let it be filled with your voice
Sounds of mellow yellows and brilliant blues that shimmer over the surface of the waters
Greens and oranges and reds and death.
Can you stand up and sing
To your crowd of the dark?
Dear little Night sparrow,
your song blinds us like the night
It purges through our hearts, like
The cold gaze of the moon.
Darkness flows in from every corner of my surroundings
And I am filled with noise.
But the noise is of a sweet little Sparrow,
And she drowns me in her song.

PoetryA short poem depicting a Night Sparrow's conquest of gaining fame from her voice. This poem was inspired by ZUN's character Mystia Lorelei, as the name also belongs to him, so I've tagged Touhou as well.
