So forth went the cardinal,
who from her tree perch had wondered
why her colors were of the earth
and not the magnificent sunset.
Others around her had bore
the brilliant crimson, yet she’d remained
as she had always been:
dull as the branches of home.
Thus went the cardinal,
who in the limitless sky soon discovered:
the music that beckoned her forward
was eternally blind.
