Light in the darkness

In the room of ruin and loss

Covered by the flowerless moss

Lies a bird wounded for ages

Happiness erased from its life’s pages

The knife of remorse has pierced its heart

Forcing its soul to tear apart

The winter seems to stretch on forever

And tears continue to flow like river

Like a leaf detached from the forest

Greediness succeeded in setting it free

The wind of catastrophe blew away its fate

To change its course back, but it is too late

The radiant spirit is crushed by life’s debacles

Making it hard to overcome its obstacles

The wall thus echoes an agonized cry

And broken wings mark its endless try

But amidst the never ending plight

There comes a cheering ray of light

Thrusting its way through the wall

Spreading warmth and hope to all

It drives away the darkness in its life
By providing strength and courage to dive

Towards the ocean of hidden treasures
 Memories of spring bring in all pleasure
