it was among the wildflowers
where she found refuge
where the winds always sang
and trees always danced
when the rains came
she danced along with them
keeping to the beat
of the deep rolls of thunder
she was as wild as the beasts
and as free as the birds
it was only there
in the shelter of the meadow
among the wildflowers
where the forest kept watch
that she found
who she really ought to be
