Lost green fields

There was this dream

I lost the way home to

Inside my mind

I felt it surround me

At the time I felt most at home

All those years ago

All around me fields of green

Cycle paths leading through meadows

Littered with stars on flowers

And I was in heaven there

For a time

But the storm blew up

And the tension inside me could not hold

(I was too young and knew nothing of holding only how to tear apart)

And the thing I destroyed was my dream

I watched it dissolving

And no matter how hard I fought

Forces pulled me away

So now at times I feel

My soul will never be free

Of the memory

But everything in me says

You cannot go back

Only forward

But how to do that

When my heart lies there in those soft green fields

Of beauty I found and loved

So long ago
