[hometext] => More prose than poetry. Something I dreamt. The dream was beautiful...but so profoundly sad. I hope I did it justice.
[bodytext] => I had this dream-last night of a hill a great, softly sloping thing with long green grass and it seemed to be in a state of twilight with all of the stars above, and the last rays of the sun over the horizon. This hill had an air of sadness about it, for this was where childhoods ended and the children who sat on its slopes were those who were destined soon be adults. Some sat in groups, whispering to each-other laughing, weeping. Others sat alone, eyes focused on the darkened sky. Some ran with kites through the tall waving grass, and still others walked slowly through the soft trails left by those who had come before. And, one by one, they would fade, their last whispers echoing gently. -Derrewyn [comments] => 1 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 32 [informant] => Derrewyn [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )
