Dreaming

I'm surrounded by wildflowers  
And a sky that's blue  
I look into the distance  
And am glad to see you're here too  
Because this is a safe place  
It had been so long  
I'd forgotten the sunny look of your face  
I pick myself up  
Towards you I begin to run  
A dark cloud rolls in  
And consumes the shining sun  
As the sky begins to turn  
The life surrounding us
Is beginning to burn  
The sky opens up  
A downpour ensues  
But it cannot help the trees  
Scorched at the roots  
I scratch, claw, and crawl  
To get closer to you  
I give it my all  
But no matter how fast I run  
Or how hard I try  
You are out of my reach  
Ruled by this invisible divide  
This is supposed to be a safe place to be  
A place where it is only  
You and me  
As we continue to fight  
Smoke and fire  
Are the only things within our sight  
Exhausted, I collapse on the ground  
The wind whips, the fire crackles  
It doesn't make a sound  
I cover to protect myself  
I finally open my eyes  
You are still across the field  
It is once again blue skies
