The Meadow

The Meadow

I lay here letting the sun shine down on me
Don't really feel much like moving
Thoughts of you float through my head
As every cloud I see reminds me of you
I wonder what it is that you ever saw in me?
And how it is that I was ever so lucky?
There's nothing extraordinary about me
If I had an ounce of compassion left
Then I might feel sorry for myself
Having lost something so special
You were so far beyond me
But I decided that just once I would reach for the stars
I failed miserably
But you surprised me
By coming down from your perch in the heavens to sit with me
And even though I failed to reach the star that is you
I felt like the happiest person in the world
Knowing that once, just once
The brightest star in the sky, came to me
