Poetry Corner


You follow the path from the meadow and find yourself in another meadow. This one is more subdued and you can recognize all the flowers. You see daffodils, tulip, black diamonds, and others. You turn, startled as someone clears their throat behind you. You see Aseta standing at the entrance to the path you had just walked. She smiles at you and lifts her hand.

"This is where Remanth keeps her poems and the poems written as gifts. The first poem was a gift from her friend Kristen. She wanted this meadow to be more recognizable because poetry is more subtle, in her opinion. Plus, she likes the flowers," Aseta tells you. She swings her arm in a wide arc, taking in the whole meadow. She has a slight smile on her face, as if she loves being here.

"If you like, you can pick a bouquet of flowers from this meadow and the one before and take them with you," Aseta says. "But you must plant the flowers quickly or they will die." You nod your thanks. Aseta studies you for a second then smiles. She waves to you and turns.

"I must go back to the Story Meadow. I can't leave it unguarded." With that final sentence, Aseta walks back down the path and quickly disappears. As you turn back, you notice a single butterfly glidig through the meadow. You smile and turn to look at the poems.






I see you every day
But somethin's always in my way
Of sayin the right thing.

The words inside my heart
Could maybe make us start
What I want to have.

I can't help but feel alone
All by myself at home
Without the one I love.

I know you're wrong for me
But someday you will see
The impact that you have.

You're the one I want here
The one who drew a tear
From my eyes when I saw you.

You're so different I can see
You make me feel so free
Like a bird in an open sky.

You make me feel things
I just wanna shout and sing
You give me the strength I need.

Without you I wouldn't know
That letting my feelings show
Could be such a releif.

I never acted this way
But you change me every day
Into someone I am not.

You make me someone more
Someone who'd run right through the door
Just to be with you.

I've never felt so close
And I love you the most
Out of everyone I've seen.

I used to be so shy
Until I met this guy
It's you who's brought me here.

I made it through the rough
And I have to fight so tough
To stay strong through it all.

Because you don't see me
The way I want you to see
But I'll look at you every day.

In that special way.

Even through you don't.

I'll still love you every day.

I'll still love you every day.
