The sweet bird of spring
With such melodious joy
Sings, praising nature

I can hear the mountains singing
Their voices, echoing, in jubilation

A quiet moment, alone on a swing
Hoping my heart can remember to sing
Floating on air, in the bright morning light
Knowing full well, I must keep up the fight
To conquer this monster, restless in me
I can no longer take all of life’s sympathy
For those who don’t know, it feels like you’ve died
From all of those emotions you’ve kept deep inside
I look not for pity, from eyes as they glare
But hope one day, I am not ashamed to share
The burdens I lay at my very own feet
Trying so hard, to fight this defeat
I’ve locked it away, yet it’s close to my heart
The sadness I feel, like I’m falling apart
Not knowing which way I can turn and still care
Falling deeper and deeper into empty despair
Til the chirp of a bird sings its own happy song
And in that very moment, my heart sings along
Rejoicing, he sings, such a sweet melody
His reminder, that happiness is waiting for me

I apologize if this offends anyone. I was “punch drunk” from a very serious lack of sleep, and this is what happens when the Sandman doesn’t visit 🙂
Please read this to the tune of “Jingle Bells”
Falling in the snow
One winter, cold and gray
Over drifts we go
Cursing all the way
No bells will toll for us
Noise is not our thing
Let us be, or you shall see
What happens when you sing
Ooooh, what the hell?!, we all fell
Out of Santa’s sleigh
We don’t know where we should go
This Christmas holiday
Oooooh, here we go, to and fro
We think this is the way
Through the woods, up to no good
This Christ-mas hol-i-daaaaaayyyy!!
Ho Ho!

The pathway is lighted to welcome you in
The holidays are here, let the party begin
Family all gathered around the Christmas tree
Mom and Dad caroling, with Ole Auntie Dee
Spirits are flowing, with happiness and cheer
As we celebrate love, with the ones we hold dear
