She came and perched on the window sill
And I, a forlorn soul, got charmed by the magnificence
Her pristine beauty amazed me, I stood still
A divine being showed its benign presence
She chirruped with melody and pride
An ocean of rhythmic divinity
Held her head high, as she sang, dignified
God’s gift, a sweet voice, a symbol of purity
Coated in golden silk, feathers shimmering
Deep hues of ochre, vivid and bright
High up in the skies, a beauty fluttering
A scenic sight yielded, wings emitting golden light
The melancholy vanished instantly,
For a pleasant creature understood my plight
And brought about hope and blissfulness, evidently
Fulfilled her task — healing the depressed — she took flight
