out in the fields

brooks, meredith

empty streets like winter cold

feelings cut without a trace

hands reach out ready to fold

another tear falls into place

running through a quiet fire

i can see the flames grow wild

i hear a crimson word

inside

i am free

out in the fields

the sky is burning

i feel the joy returning

out in the fields

listen to the winds of heaven

i feel with a rhyme and reason

scattered pictures like my thoughts

shattered glass watch where i walk

unspoken words tear me apart

another hole right through my heart

looking through an open window

touching all around me

i see a silver rose

outside

i am free
