Poetgirl,

Can you sit outside and listen to the sound of a bird? Sometimes when life is so painful i don't think i can stand it any more, i sit outside and listen. Birds are small, short lived, and often taken for granted. But when I've been so low that it seems like nothing could penetrate my wall of pain, it was a little bird's song that found it's way to my heart. A simple, little thing. But enough to remind me that in the darkest night, something of beauty still remains.
