Far away
In a place cool and comfortable
Amid trees green and colourful flowers
The air heavy with scents of the forest
Bees hum brings a somnolence to the day
Stray beams of sunlight
Lance down through overarching tree branches
Patterned by the mosaic of leaves
A slowly running brook cheerfully burbles
Drawing travellers to the glade
Deep into the centre of the serene shade
Laughter lightly tinkling
As she flew around the glade
Hid the sadness in her heart
In pieces on the ground
Torn asunder by the one
Who told her
She was the one
The one he’d love forever
And protect from all harm
But daylight now has woken
And dreams are hard to hold
Her lover, he has left her
With a lonely loving heart
Laugh loud and sweetly fair one
Let the musical brook soothe you
Allow the sibilance of the trees caress you
And the downy grass cocoon you
Love’s touch can oft be fickle
A heart is easily broken
But hope must fly forever
If loves game we hope to win.
