Description The grass is a carpet beneath my feet
Sharp but soft as I run across the sticky dew
The sun is setting on today and tomorrow.
I can't handle the stress of yesterday
Which is why I let it go in that same grass
Leaving it behind on the hills.

If I were to lie on the prairie
Among the flowers, green and gold
Would I forget? Would I forget?
Or just grow old lying there
Unable to remember what breathing was like?

But when I finally rise towards the light
The white clouds floating overhead
Like my long lost memories
Unfortunately not yet gone.
They still bring tears
When days like these keep coming.

And no amount of music
Can ever bring them back.
No crying, no dancing, no acting like a child.
Pushing forward on a cycle
Wondering, why you?
As if all the evils in this world
Have gathered above your head.

So take me back to the sunlit grass
And the moonlit hill
The brush turning blue under a velvet sky
Take me back there and tell me
Tell me that I'll never have to leave.

Wow. The sensory details in this are stunning. It's got kind of a fairy-tale thing about it that I really enjoy. It's easy to relate to as well

I'm so glad I started this forum thread. I've just found one of my new favorite poems.
