A Meadow Far Away

You thought someone loved you
but now you don't know for sure.
But you do know you are alone
and love isn't smiling for you anymore.
It doesn't even visit you in any shape or form.
Your dream has lost it's hope
and love is approaching scorn.
And thru it all she misses me
not half as much as I miss her.
And someday we will explore these feelings
and expose them for what they were.
Til then swing low sweet chariot
for my heart has lost it's way
and just this time I beg this ride
to a lush meadow far away.
For I have no place for my love to go.
I have lost the reason for my love to grow.
And now I have a heart wanting to know
how to smile on a lonely day
in a meadow far away.

Michael
The meadow is a resting place
To smell the rose of your embrace.
And dew will cover up the thorns
Of this I'm sure one of these morns.
A beautiful write.

(sigh) So sad but beautiful, sweet friend, always look deep into your loving heart and find the beauty within the garden of the earth, for soon true love will find you and you will share this happiness forever; until then, believe in yourself and nurture these flowers with love! We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is sooooooo beautiful!

Love,
Noah Eaton
