Once, in a purple park, Mark, a lark, lived. His heart was dark. His song, stark; no spark. He'd grieve, unable to weave joy into his eve. His only reprieve, a hive of bees living in a sieve.
One day, a dove named Olive arrived. She strived to revive Mark's spirit. "Don't deprive yourself of mirth," she said, "come dive with me in the river!"
Mark took a brave step, ready to embark. The water was cool, a stark contrast to the park. His feathers shimmered a beautiful purple in the sun. He felt a spark ignite in his heart.
From then on, every eve, Mark's song was no longer dark but alive with joy. And the purple park was a happier place, thanks to Olive's gentle grace.
