My Dreamland

It’s starting to feel like it was all just a dream
A lost memory buried deep within the crevices in my mind
I miss the evergreen field and the hot sun that blazed my shoulders 
I miss the tall people and the calls of the umber cows
It’s been three months and it already feels like it’s been forever 
The memories are fading and so are the feelings 
Although I’m still trying to hold on
I miss the feeling of being there 
The air filled with laughter and joy 
Smiles and sunburnt cheeks 
The feeling of family and that I’m never truly alone 
Only seven more months until I can be there again 
And I’ll be running barefoot in the field 
Smiling because I’m finally where I’m meant to be 
In my dreamland
