The bird chirps loudly
A song my heart can’t fathom
Like a mourner’s dirge
Filling my lungs with salty emotions
The flame rose up above
A battle the cloud never won
The infant cry from afar
A weak lullaby rings out in the mist
Lovers in a tight embrace
Under the oak tree
Seemingly confessing their love
The heavens listen in envy
Clutched at arms-length
Hippos jiggle gracefully
Shaking in excitement
To an unheard rhythm
The sea bellows
The waves yonder
All calls beyond
Till every current is lost
