The birds circle near

Wind cascading through their wings

Calling out to me

Trees’ boughs swaying near

I stand with arms spread out thin

Their saplings grinning

Flowers in meadows

Yellow like a joyful day

Cut through with blue bows

Darker coats cover

Rooms, for one person only

Harsh streams and smooth rocks

Here it is peaceful

Seeing only deep, deep black

My smile is soft

Wrapped up in darkness

Soft lining, frozen cold shell

Ice like a blanket

Small eyes glittering

Mourning song brings mournful peace

Teeth bared to show joy
