Lullaby of a Songbird

9/19/16

The yearning songbird sang a lullaby

To guide the heart of an impassive wolf.

It seemed as though the songbird's gentle lullaby 

Was not enough to pacify the chaos within the wolf,

And his cold eyes showed no remorse--

But the songbird sang her lullaby. 

She sang softly and gently each day 

In hopes her song would resonate in his soul.

The wolf's restraints let loose 

And within his cold eyes showed panic--

He was frightened by the thought of empathy.

The songbird sang her gentle lullaby once more,

And to her astonishment

The wolf found solace in her song.

But the songbird sang her lullaby.
She sang softly and gently each day
In hopes her song would resonate in his soul.
