Lily's Field
Lily stops in the middle
Of the field
Where she has stopped
A hundred times
She lays down in the grass
And stares up at the clouds
As they float gracefully
Through her sight
This is where she lives
This is Lily’s home
Where she feels safe
And loved
No one knows
Where Lily goes
Everyday after school
And they never will
This is her place
Her sanctuary
And she will not share it
No matter who asks
Nature is her mother
It has been
Since the day she was old enough
To realize it
And now,
Whenever her mother screams
Or her father lies
Or her heart aches
Lily comes to this field
And wraps herself
In the arms of the Earth
And cries
For hours she will lay here
Wishing
Thinking
Hoping
Willing
For things to finally change
Will they finally change?
No one knows for sure
But until they do
You will always find comfort
In Lily’s field
