Song, Sorrow and a Flower

I have a song of sorrow in my heart.

You only know.

the firstborn light today shines on me.

while I suffer notes of weariness

shadows play in minor key.

I lay down in cool downy greens 

and I see

notes in blues and reddish hues.

Up and down the scale it goes

a song begging to be free.
