The day passes by without a trace of delight.
My mouth is stuffed with pounds of sighs.

My muscles seems limp,
not a lift of grimace.
Can a laughing class teach me, teach me.
How to revive the joy in me?
No, it's not even within the soul of mine.

Maybe it will befall on me,
like an acorn in the story like Henny Penny's.
I stare, I glare...bleary-eyed.
Pardon me, I'm not being rude.
I just forgot to lift the veil before my eyes.

Innocuous as a panda's glance,
I hope to take in what I have none,
Grant me life in my eyes.

Stunning write.
Spring approaches to delight the sights.
