Seven

There once lived a girl in a forest
sheltered and isolated from the rest
unbeknownst to most, devoid of unrest.
Her days were sunny and nights tranquil
her dreams cheerful, demeanor playful
her needs simple, desires ephemeral

She lived by no rules, obeyed no system
played with chaos summoned at random
the world was to her but a mere phantom.
She remained a total stranger to humanity
until the day she found the utter monstrosity.

She heard them call it the human heart
a grotesque creature born of pure abstract.
She was never meant to find the beast
if it were not for that one impossible feat
of a stranger who has mastered the beat
and unlocked the closely guarded secret.

Seven seas away, seven continents hence
seven stories high and seven notes apart
the seven pounds slowly began to hum
and the girl is no longer a girl but a woman
from here on she does nothing but bemoan.
