One

                                                                                                   step

                                                                                                   in

                                                                                                   time

                                                                                                   large meadows

                                                                                                   grassy hills

                                                                                                   I walk

                                                                                                   wind

                                                                                                   fierce

                                                                                                   eyes dry

                                                                                                   throbbing pain

                                                                                                   rapidly hours pass

                                                                                                   rainbow colors shower the sunset

                                                                                                   stars

                                                                                                   one by one

                                                                                                   I drift

                                                                                                   sleep

                                                                                                   Awoken, bright light opens my eyes

                                                                                                   the sun

                                                                                                   stares down

                                                                                                   I walk

                                                                                                   slowly

                                                                                                   grassy hills

                                                                                                   large meadows

                                                                                                   one

                                                                                                   step

                                                                                                   in

                                                                                                   time
