She Runs With the Lions

In an other dimension There lies another world Deep forests of green Moss, fern creepers unfurled Thousands of birds Species similar to ours Atmosphere the same Moon and bright stars The difference here Is the attitude of life No savaging hunters In bloodied strife Birds and snakes Side by side A girl runs through the trees With the Lions pride Kids bathing In Crocodile waters Splashing and yelling No wanton slaughter A world without food No rotting decay Animals and plants Live day to day Somewhere in time Living structures changed Purely oxygen feeders No humans deranged Life has a life As they will pass away But not one will fall To a victim of prey http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy3.php

This is a pleasure to read! Sometimes it is the unique view of the writer that most inspires. I liked this vision. Write On, anita

wonderful vision like the Elysian Fields! I'm starting a new tag ;) The once was a man from faraway who held life in his hand as the pen did sway With ink on the page, He left us a daze And all the the ladies did swoon away! Your turn & pass it on! Light & Love

Very good writing. Someday that will happen when the child will lie down with the lamb and a child can play on a adders nest. Keep writing. Sara
