Amongst forgotten meadows
she lay
her heart still
her thoughts free
her mind scattered
on the cloud of imagination
Strings of invisible ribbons
tie us to an ancient path
of mindless banter…
rounded pebbles and cool water
underneath our feet…
splashing us from echoes of swirls…
and carved scriptures
and feathered inked dipped tips…
fog and sanity,
lost in the unknown places of the mind.
Amongst forgotten meadows
she lay
her heart still
her thoughts free
her mind scattered
on the cloud of imagination

The shadows of my dreams
follow me
laying in the corners of my mind
it filters into my day
like a drifting daydream
made colourful with my imagination
of a world beyond my conscious realm
that plays with my thoughts…
like butterflies following sunshine
The shadows of my dreams…
follow me
Don’t clip her wings,
for she wants to fly,
Higher, than the reach of your eyes,
Don’t…
Don’t break her courage,
for she dares to dream,
awake from a past full of screams,
Don’t…
Don’t put her beneath your notice,
for she is a woman,
a mother , a sister, a daughter, who insists,
on being heard,
Don’t…
For as history has shown,
and future will see,
she is beyond grasp,
she is free…
She will learn what there is to learn,
and she will fly in the clear blue skies,
She will rise after each fall,
and she will conquer all that lies,
in her path…
She will not stay under your oppression,
but please do not torture her with your brutality,
she is stronger than you will ever know,
but set her free, in the name of humanity,
for she is a girl, and she can do everything,
that can possibly be.
