The Meadow

I'm always there, in that place that doesn't mean a thing to anyone but me. A far away meadow where I don't have to hide all the happiness of a young girls heart. One that has been ripped apart, so many times. I stare at all the beautiful flowers and trees of my surroundings and let the wind gently rustle my hair. I close my eyes taking in all these wonderful things, as I lie on the cool grass. My body mixes in with the air, and I'm blowing past natures statues and creatures galore. I stop at the edge of a nearby pond, my body floating softly to the ground as an eagles feather. I look deep into the sparkling image that makes me who I am. I gracefully touch the water with my fingertips and let the water shimmer like the stars. A white unicorn grazing near the freshly harvested hay, called out to me. It approached me as I stood, and nuzzled my arm. I brushed its silk coat and burrowed my face against her cool cheek. This is the reason I come to this place. To interact with the things not known or believed in their world. Its just my own, my sound and the behind scenes of my eyes. It's calm and peaceful, which their world is far from. I'm the only one with the doorway to this meadow. I love going there, it's like a blanket that warms its comfort over me when I need it the most. And when I get there, my feelings are a boat sailing to sea, leaving me filled with perfect serenity. I'll always be there, till the end of all life, and I know this lovely meadow will never be replaced.

You paint a perfect picture of what contentment is like. A reader can quickly get caught up in the magic of your writing. Read "A Voice In The Wind" and you will see that our pens write with the same ink.... Jake
