I went to visit one of my
friends in prison.
He smiled.
It was a lovely smile
greeting me
and thanking me.
He was lonely.
The days and nights
are very long in a prison.
Sohe smiled.
His eyes shone with gratitude.
The he took his flute,
began to play on his flute,
his only companion
whosends his heart
lovely messages of comfort
and heavenly graces.
As he played
I thought
he was praying.
He believed
that the angels listen
to him always
when he played
on his flute.
At night lovely fairies
came to him
to sleep with him.

Brilliant. Humans are very social creatures; to be condemned with isolation is a terrible fate that many have to suffer everyday (of course, in the context of prison most people deserve it) , it is always soothing to pray. Sometimes praying can become a means of catharsis, and that really helps to keep your head held high.
