The Songbird
a poem from when I got lost in a jungle
Wherever the Songbird goes,
I will go along.
Because in the jungle, I am
Stranded all alone.
It sings of almost everything-
From hearty prayers and wishes
Of love, dawn and dusk,
To gods, demons and witches.
And here I sing along with it,
To scare my fear away.
Through rocks, rivers and silence-
God leads my way.
I was lost and lonely,
Almost ready to die.
But the songbird came in,
And lead me to the light.
And songbird, is the hope
Which leads us out of dark.
When we think the fire is out,
It lights up the spark.
For all the times that you felt depressed, when you had nothing to hold on to, let hope be your songbird and guide you out of the forest of gloom.

Just an introverted girl who gave up speaking her mind as she felt that no one listened. But her self-expression found its way through written words, scribbled sketches and painted worlds.
Welcome to my mind!
