Natural Élan
Butterflies and blackbirds croon soft
On sibylline wings floating aloft
In diaphanous aura they soar
'Neath dark discord rising in roar
Flowers cadence to voice the wind
In ruin sun forgoes to rescind
Life for all the world to adore
'Neath dark discord rising in roar
Raging storms harmonize on high
For in dismal essence all cry
And life does in life form abhor
'Neath dark discord rising in roar
Butterflies and blackbirds croon soft
'Neath dark discord rising in roar
