Sometimes I want to say something
but nothing comes to my head—
sometimes I want to say something
but I feel so empty and dead.
Sometimes I want to write something
but the words jumble instead—
everything sounds trite and so boring
like the random thoughts in my head.
Sometimes I miss a far distant illusion
of something I wish had occurred—
true love and eternal profusion
that would turn my pain hazy blurred.
But sometimes I sing ever so brightly
the birds in the sky stop to watch—
and they join me together so spritely
kicking my tunes up a notch.
And suddenly I see it all so clearly
and the world sparks again with aglow—
for I feel You as nearly above me
as the shadow of black crows on snow.
