Meadow Dream Poem by Dyhanara Rios

As I sat down on a stone in the meadow,
With only my thoughts and my shadow,
I can only wonder how this came to be.
As a million things run through my mind,
I will use these minutes to relax, unwind,
And comprehend all that surrounds me.

I sit here in this meadow grass,
Watching clouds as they pass,
And daydreaming, without a care,
Of the times you and I have shared.

Suddenly, rain pours down from all around,
Drowning out all of nature’s sounds.
We lost the bird’s song and the cricket’s chirps,
And again, it sinks in – reality hurts.
Then a rainbow shows through the thunder and rain,
To remind me that pain will wash away
As quickly as it came.

The sun comes out once again
As the dark clouds pass.
One day, you and I, my friend,
Will return to this meadow grass
Together.
