Sparrows

Sparrows are little birds,
Of none or little worth.
But still, today, they are worth more than many.

There it was, sitting in the corner,
Invading the world,
Destroying the box,
Consuming the mind.

Along comes a sparrow,
A bird of little worth,
Ands sings its trill song,
Daring the world.

Poor sparrow, you who bring light into this dark world,
What do you know of its many terrors?
Nothing or little I’ll wager,
But still it sings its song:
Of dangers faced, of lovers lost,
Of children eaten, of homes destroyed.

Poor sparrow, you who bring light into the dark world,
You know much of its terrors…
But what do you know of its many joys?
Nothing, or little I’ll wager,
But still it sings its song:
Of changing seasons, of children born,
Of the delights of love, of the pleasures of spring.

The box is remade,
The world cleansed,
The mind purified,
And left in the corner.

Alas little sparrow, leave not me yet,
Your song is my lifeblood,
My very soul, my heart, my mind.
Yet it flies away.

Many ask:
Why?
For what reason?
The answer is simple,
Why not spread joy to those who need it?

This is not dark poetry to me, just beautiful poetry.
