"...recall carefree days..."

recall carefree days in forest enjoying shade and game playing and being loved for music

but now banished because of despair instead of playing enjoyable music now like screech

owl to self days of contentment and delight in music gone destroyed by sorrow

remember back to simpler time wandering forest personifying music of valley now sadness overtaken

whole day so dark absent of light feel all day is evening time perception of world now overwhelming

impossible to conquer mountain crying replaces music filling vale

swan only sang before died only wails greet morning and strong enough to climb

mountain no longer forest once loved now barren desert long time since experienced joy

respected place in society ha

long time since other people in valley who are happy asked stop disrupting lives with music

grown accustomed to hating both evening morning thoughts pursue like wild animals

wonder if might not be better underneath mountain meaning dead and buried

changed perception of world since sorrow overtook now see mountain as valley

nature projecting onto own emotions past and present

what once saw in mountain now see in self and now see mountain flattened dejected

just as see self in forest now hear nightingales owls

but music intermingled where once solace in morning now feel of serene

comes in evening not peacefulness but damp evening air sick

evening air finding filth in sunrise detect foul odor scent flowers but perception world change

instead of finding beauty sight scent find ugliness and offense perception altered

music morning horrific cries men being killed in forest

would like to set fire to forest bid sun farewell every night send curses to find music

envy mountain hate valley

hatred extends to every part of every day night evening morning

curse for self as lower than valley no desire to see evening cover

ears to block sound of music

woman creates music perfect beauty outshines morning grandeur surpasses mountain landscape beauty

when left was cast down into darkness

mountain nothing nothing but valley her music existence action dictate movements of heavens 

nature that surrounds will as witness to sorrow...
