Meadow of Hopes and Dreams

In the meadow of hopes and dreams

Lay the crying child

Stuffing their mouth with buttercups

And thinking of their life

All their hopes

All their dreams

All gone due to the cruel world

In this peaceful meadow

The child was safe

Their hopes and dreams came back to life

It had been years since the child had seen them.

The child was safe from the darkness, the nightmares, the shattered hopes, and the monsters of the world

A golden spark of happiness

The same colors as the buttercups

The child swallowed the first buttercup

Then the second

Then the third

Then the fourth

Then the fifth

Then the sixth

Then the seventh

.......

Out came the first buttercup

Then the second

Then the third

Then the fourth

Then the fifth

Then the sixth

Then the seventh

Out came the blood

Out came to vomit

Out came the peace

Out came the pain

The buttercups surrounding the child became stained red with their blood

The child gagged

Then smiled

For at least, they'd leave this world in the meadow of buttercups

Where they were safe

Where they were happy

Where they finally smiled

...

.......

.............

.........................

You're wrong.

The child is back.

The child is sad.

The child wants to be happy again.

The child is beyond death.

The child wants to find the meadow of buttercups again

Where their hopes and dreams were free

This isn't the book.

If you're looking for the book.

For my book

This is a decoy

I'm not allowed to show you the real book

And I would never show you

Or anyone-

-that doesn't wear the golden flowers

.......

Yes, each of us have our own book

They were a gift from him

But there were only seven

But what if there were more than seven of us?

What would happen to the balance of the books?

What would happen to him?

What would happen to the child?

No.

I understand now.

If there are extras...

.........

.................

........................

If there are more than seven

Kill them.

.......

I don't feel like writing about this anymore

But maybe

I'll put myself in the perspective of the crying child

Hidden amongst the buttercups

In the meadow of hopes and dreams.

I won't tell you about the books

But maybe I'll tell you about me

.......

.......

.......

.......

.......

.......

.......

Seven Hopes and Dreams. That's all that's allowed.
