peculiar world

I awaken,
laying upon purple leaves
Hearing melodies of mermaids
and stories of common birds.
I sit up,
looking around me.
Green trees,
black and blue roses,
a world different from earth.
a peculiar world
I pull my knees to my chest and hug them.
She kneels beside me and begins to
stroke my hair...
"Mother Nature", I whisper,
"Give me an explanation"
She stays silent, licking her lips,
then leaving her mouth open.
"This is your world", she said.
An abrupt answer.
Laying back down,
I listen to the melodies of the mermaids,
and the stories of common birds.
It's a peculiar world,
which I have created.
