Monday, April 19

A sadness overwhelms me

There is a song that the birds sing
In the early hours of the morning
As I lay amongst a field of flowers
And the sun dries last night’s rain

Rushing past me, I hear a river’s sigh
Content on its journey to unknown
I smell the earth, the trees, the water
I feel the wind as it whispers all its secrets

My hands reach out to feel the tall grass
As it bends softly in the breeze
I breathe in deep the fresh, cool air
And smile as a calm overtakes me

I only wish this weren’t a dream
A fleeting memory, a moment past
If I open my eyes it all disappears
And fades into the darkness of my mind
