You skip through the meadow,
Your hair flowing in the wind,
Your eyes sparkling in the sunlight,
Your smile radiating happiness.

The cottage on the hill
Its walls covered in bright green ivy,
Its windows conveying the peacefulness within,
Its garden a kaleidoscope of blooming flowers.

It’s a cheerful moment,
As you run,
And laugh,
And enjoy life.
But then the bubble bursts,
And throws you back into reality.

© Ellen S., Franklin, KY

I was inspired to write this poem after coming back to NYC from an amazing vacation in the countryside.
