A Blissful Defeat

We all were ambling, out there, in the greenery.
 From there, the mountain, we could see
 Wrapped in the cloud, mysterious, dreamy mountain!
 
 Then, out of nowhere, I heard a friend was singing
 She was singing a song of love, pain, and grief
 And I saw a magical moment, a twist of a whim.
 
 I was thinking for a moment and decided on the spot;
 I reached for the letter I wrote last night, and
 I was tearing it all apart, with all my ability.
 
 I felt the uselessness of all unspoken words
 Like the hard shell, hiding the pearl, deep inside
 There was nothing more meaningful than a song!
 
Right on that moment, a defeat felt so blissfully divine!
