A sad stream and a sullen heart

 

A bubbling creek

rippling with a miasma of pain,

A twinkling ribbon of solace

to a sad heart

as it ponders on its bank.

 

Does it—the brook—have the ability

to smell sadness in others?

And offer its own song of pain

as the musical chimes of joy to the visitor.

 

A flowing sadness and a frozen one,

Both of them turning paly

to withstand the shower

of the frozen pellets of pain.
