Standing in a meadow,
The world so far away,
Light, chase away my shadows,
Make my night to day,

Lay down amongst the flowers,
Seeing purple, blue, and red,
I'll stay here for hours,
Maybe until I'm dead,

In the meadow I'll find my peace,
Instead of in the world,
Because in the meadow I'm a breeze,
In the world I'm just a girl,

You'll never find your fate,
Though, sitting in a meadow,
You can't just sit and wait,
Because sooner or later, you'll have to face your shadows...

The author's comments:
I wrote this because I was feeling kind of out of it, and I wanted to get some peace. Writing about a meadow is probably a super peaceful thing, since meadows take anyone and don't scrutinize them.

It wasn't said by me, but my favorite quote is: "Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves." - Brendan Francis
