The Songbird

I once met a songbird,

Whose voice cried out to me -

Its tune slipped inside my heart

Tickling it with a melody.

I said,

"Hello, my darling songbird,

Whose name do you cry?"

They said,

"I search for the wayward soul

That would link with mine."

Their song began to bubble

I felt it churn from deep within;

And suddenly a new melody

Burst from my lips.

And so we began to harmonize,

My songbird and I;

Our music danced delicately,

Down the mountainside.

Oh, what a delight to know a songbird -

To have our spirits intertwined!

But alas my darling songbird,

Could never just be mine.
