Entry #48: For A Brief Moment (Poem)

For a brief moment I smiled.

I sang in the sun and laughed in the rain.

I danced in the fields of tall grass and under the bright sky.

Laying upon the flowers and whispering of tomorrows so distant.

For a time I felt alive.

The tune I carry is no longer that of joy.

Singing has turned to screaming under a grey sky.

The fields I lay in are but cold and derelict wastes.

A world subjugated to an endless decay wrought by sorrow.

Forever my grove and eternal home.

For a time I lived.

But I think I died somewhere along the way.
