Fall Poetry Edition: "Green Fields"

"Green Fields"

By Paige Glenn, '14

 

Starry nights and grey clouds

Warm blankets on the ground

I lie here,

The wind dusting over my soft face,

Hearing the Earth's heartbeat,

As I close my eyes,

And drift to Mother Nature's paradise.

But still this emptiness

Twists inside my stomach.

It reaches down all the way to my toes.

This beauty, wonderful beauty,

Is too gracious to share all alone.

I slightly grin

And lightly touch the grass on the tips of my fingers,

How I wish to share this beauty.

We could hear her heart rate pace like bongos,

rum pumpum, rum pumpum, rum pumpum,

A gentle and muted sound.

How the wind sings and dances around us,

who even gets the leaves to dance.

The flowers hold hands and wait

for the moon to rise, before they drift to sleep.

Starry nights and grey clouds

Warm blankets on the ground.

I lie here,

How I wish to share this beauty.
