Heart Song

by Blaque Diamond 

The sound echoes
Reverberating through the air
The soulful melody
Pierces your heart
Emotions play across your face
As your attention is captured
So sweet the sound
The music of the yellow canary
This lone soloist
Belting out its mournful tune
Telling your sad story
For the entire world to hear
Sad but beautiful
The heart-breaking song of your life
This creature knows you
He knows your hearts pain
His song expressing your feelings
Speaking your shameful truth
Shivers run down your spine
And the music continues
As memories parade through your mind
The canary continues to sing
Your head tilts
Not wanting to miss a single note
How does he know?
What no one else suspects
The truth, you keep inside
Buried in your unshed tears
This little bird
Who’s perched high in the trees
Sings your song
The soundtrack of your life
Your tears begin to flow
Cascading like rivers down your cheeks
This yellow canary
Faces in your direction
Your gazes meet
And he opens his beak wide
To finish your song
The song he sings for you
Your beautiful private concert
Comes to a long harmonious end
As he belts out his last note
To this sad but lovely melody
The song you know so well
Sung so soft and beautifully
The silence now echoes
Reverberating through the air
A gentle smile touches your lips
And the canary takes flight
On to another lost soul
To sing their troubles away
Bye bye little canary
Hopefully, you’ll sing a different tune
