In the Meadow

The sun dripping yellow rays behind the clouds follow the running child in the meadow.
Her red sundress a brilliant flash of life amongst the green forest walls.
Her laughter is a musical tribute to a happy childhood filled with love and a sorrow-less existence.

The storm clouds roll in and block the sun that makes the day so beautiful.
He is lurking in the black shadows that hide behind the forest walls.
His black eyes follow the blood red dress of his prey and he gets ready to pounce.

She feels no danger as she runs back to the meadow to find her beloved mother.
Her long dark hair flows in the gentle breeze and the storm brewing doesn't affect her mood.

He will never let her leave the forest, she will never be seen again.
His arms reach out as the red passes him and grabs hold of the child.

In the meadow a mother waits for her daughter to come back, she waits and yells.
The mother doesn't feel the cold rain pounding down upon her as she sinks to her knees........

She hears the screams.....
