As I dance across the meadow,
I hear you call out
As I wade through the stream,
I see you catching trout

Although you may not know me,
I have seen you many a day
As through the fields I go,
Sometimes you watch me play

You sit comfortably
Inside your home
As I sit under a tree,
In my hand a large tome

I read the words aloud to you
Though you may not understand,
And in my voice you hear
The tides ebbing over sand

It makes you nostalgic,
Longing for warmer days,
Evenings spent darting
All through the heavy haze

You steal through the darkness
One with the night,
And I watch one last time,
As you take flight

You’ve kept me company
Through these long years
Now with you I’ll soar,
So dry your tears

Through the air you flit,
Welcoming wings lifting
My soul is free to fly with you,
Simply just existing
I really like birds, can you tell?
We all have a flame,
A small young spark,
Waiting to ignite,
Alone in the dark.

It watches and waits,
For someone to appear,
Who can take away,
It's worldly fear.

It's a small fear, really,
Of being extinguished.
But the heart refuses
To be diminished.

It slowly beats
Until it sees them.
A rising crescendo,
A sparkling gem.

The brain does back flips
The body shuts down
And all you want to do
Is take them down town.

A night they won't forget,
A face they'll always remember
Until the day
That flame becomes an ember
Maria Etre inspired me with her poem "Pyro". You guys should go check it out!
We toil all day
In the heat of the sun
Just for the night
For life's true fun

Dancing across
Meadows with glee
The cornfields whisper
"Sing to me"

So sing I do
Loud and clear
My voice proudly ringing
For nature to hear

The birds hear me
The crickets too
But I wish so hard
That the one who heard was you

I think back
To long summer nights
Dancing about
In the gentle moonlight

I miss you so
It's like a trance
Just longing
For one more dance

Barefoot in the meadows
Dancing quietly
Swaying side to side
Content that you're with me
I've come to realize that sometimes, the best time to sing and reflect is when nobody but nature is with you
A mighty roar
Shakes the Earth
Mother Nature
Has given birth

A new storm
Powerful and strong
Lightning like spears
Thunder like a gong

It ushers in an
Era of fear
The clouds keep coming
And the sun decided to dissapear
When you see the storm that you think will last forever, the storm that turns bright days into dark nights
A shining place
All a'gleam
Sadly, though
It was just a dream

A dark place
Undone at the seam
Thankfully, though
It was just a dream
Nightmares and daydreams are the inspiration for this poem
It's a noble thing
Sacrifice
But for me
It's my only vice

People throw themselves
In harm's way
For people that might not
Live out the day

You might save their life
You could be a  martyr
Are you willing to risk it?
It's your life to barter

It's senseless to me
To risk your life
Only to die
And cause more strife
They look in reverence
Upon my face
They think I'm a goddess
From an unknown race

I hide the truth
From all of them
I'm not here to save
But to condemn

I'm no angel
But they don't know
I've long since fallen
Far below

I see their sins
Plain as day
And when they die
They will pay
Far below lies a demon with the face of an angel...
