All the children dance Beneath the sun Crying, because it's been so long Dead inside the rays warm there souls Eventually they begin to feel Forgetting the nightmares of darkness Gratified to see the lush trees Heaving breaths of fresh air Instead of the cold air filling shriveled lungs Just the soft heat warming their skin Kind gentle winds brush through matted hair Loving trees hang just out of reach Moist grassΒ Β below bare feet Never had they felt this before Overwhelmed they stopped and stared Processing these strange things Questioning the being of it all Rain threatened to fall Suppressing their bubbling fears They began to dance again Until the clouds overhead withdrew Vivid sunshine breaking threw Within they all knew it was then X marking the spot in their hearts Yet they were not discouraged Zestfully they danced the rain away smiling
