I laid down and sang my sorrows
with a migratory bird
who had melody for me to borrow.

Our voices merged together and filled the meadow with melancholy verses.
The song brought tears to my eyes
and shivers down my spine.

the existence of my demons
but I never knew the allure of sadness.
Now I realise
why art is admired,
it gives body to the cry of one's soul.
