Sing Along Poem by Danny The Dreamer Boyd

One day I was all alone, then:
An old man came and stared at me.
He said, 'Son, what could you have possibly done
That led you in this solitude be? '

I said, 'Not just now but yet have been
Always in such a miserable state;
I've got this loneliness under my skin:
To comfort me and my sorrow sedate.'

He said, 'Up above lies the lord of love,
And down below those who belong
To a realm of joy and cheerful doves;
So go ahead join me, and let's sing a song.'

'Let's sing for the good times,
Forget the pain and what's wrong;
Let's sing a song sublime,
So seal such sadness by singing along.'

One day I was passing by,
All only old and grey, then:
Glimpsed a girl that did lonesome lie
As if she was entrapped in a den.

I said, 'Dear, East shines the good sun,
and sets West softly kissing the sea;
Yet rises again when the night is done,
Day after day and beams away your misery.'

She said, 'I wish it was that simple or
I could only escape the night;
Yet life ain't just all morning nor
It is but always filled with light.'

I said, 'Look back and forth and there lies love,
Look deep inside, you'll feel it so strong,
Look at the skies right up above
All clear, so join me and let's sing a song.'

'Let's sing now for the good clime:
It might not last all day long;
Yet there comes a time when all life's sublime,
So seal such sadness by singing along.'

Once upon a time all life's looked black,
And all what's right just did seem wrong:
So away I turned and too turned my back
On sadness, when I sublimely sang along.
