I stand in the middle
of a lush green field
that seems to stretch forever
Where emeralds sparkle bright
and possibilities seem endless

No one's around for miles
No one to point and stare
Just the pigeons
cooing their happy song
and the butterflies
mating in ecstasy
Just the stray dogs
lying idily
and the flowers
smiling fondly at me

I'm alone
I'm glad
Raising my hands
to the sapphire sky,
I yell and scream
Negative harsh feelings
spill out from me,
like angry towering waves
breaking free from a dam
at long last

I feel great.

Or beat sand with a bat...lol.  What better place to do it - alone - to keep from hurting anyone else with angry words - yet allowing your anger an outlet.  I like this a lot Kaile.  I can relate.< !signature-->

Kaile~
Such release !
Enjoyed a look into your 'meadow'.

So often I've found quiet tranquility
in an open meadow -
I sing !

kaile, a wonderful poem, very tranquil.

Out of longing great wonders have been willed

Ooh!! I've done this once... On the breakwaters at one of the beaches in Australia, where I thought that no one would hear me over the thundering waves. oh GOSH! It definitely felt good!!   It was GREAT!
