Meadow of Grass

I lie here in this meadow of grass
Counting clouds as they pass
Day dreaming without a care
The soft wind blowing through my hair
The warm sun feels good on my bare skin
I wish this feeling would never end
But soon the dark clouds reappear
Bringing back all my fears
To never feel the warmth of her hand
To never see her beauty again
To only know her leaving words
To only remember those piercing swords
To never feel her gift of love
To never be her only one
The rain pours down on me all around
Drowning out all the sounds
No birds' songs no crickets' chirps
No way to avoid all this hurt
I want to run but cannot move
My body feels the overwhelming blue
Then a rainbow shows through the lightning and rain
To remind me soon there will be no more pain
The sun comes again as the dark clouds pass
And my dreams return in this meadow of grass

This poem starts off with gentle almost 'impressionist' imagery, a reverie that draws your reader in to the picture, and then you reveal the pain you feel at love lost and we are drawn in emotionally. I felt the tangible pain of this expression but also delighted in the message of hope at the end. A most compelling and beautifully composed poem.

Dear David
What a poignant poem, I feel the the tremendous heartache within these words. You are right, when the rainbow appears, it lights up the sky and your heart, colouring it with beauty and love. Hope your days will be filled with happiness always.
Warm Hugs
