When the Meadows Changed
Long ago, the meadows were wild. Patchwork fields shimmered in the hazy, golden warmth of the sun. Swishing swathes of tall grass danced to patterns in the breeze; delicate dandelion seeds tumbled downwards, gently nestling home. The contented patter of burrowing animals could be heard below the ground, while a chorus of insects buzzed their symphony above it. A trail of singing birds glided through the sky, like white yacht sails traversing an ocean. All the meadow animals lived in tranquillity. Long ago, the meadows were at peace.
Then, in the far distance, a rumble began to echo. A particular creature glanced towards the sound. The clear stretch of beautiful blue sky seemed to be tinged with a drop of ink, like black paint swirling in water. Foraging for food, an awkward silence occupied the creature’s mind. Thud. What was that? Underneath the sky’s creeping blackness, the screech of metallic, creaking cables began to heave towers upwards! THUD. The clang of heavy machinery began to thump out a stomping rhythm; the harmony of birdsong was drowned out and lost. The Others had arrived with their noise; the world soon forgot what tranquillity sounded like.
As if a blanket had been thrown over the sky, a darkness as thick as night spread out further. It choked the air. The flourishing colours of wildlife withered into papery shells of ash. For every day that passed, The Others hoisted more and more looming towers, now gouging out the blue of the sky to replace it with endless inky black. The equipment’s pounding roar was joined by ceaseless marching: The Others stomped the inescapable maze of the concrete jungle they created. Finally, the darkness swallowed up the last of everything in its path; the screaming cogs and thumping metal reached a mighty crescendo…
From behind the tiny, lit window of a building, the creature hid inside a small room. He carefully nurtured a green sapling: the only reminder of the world that had once been. He carried the plant to the top of the tower and looked up. A golden light from high above beamed down low, straight into the creature’s blinking eyes. In that moment, everything stopped. It was time to leave this choking life, this broken cradle of destruction.
If he came close to the edge of that memory, the creature could sometimes still catch a glimpse of it: he remembered the sprawling mess of that grey city. Except, from here, he no longer heard it. He was surrounded by the buzzing of bees once more, lifted by the scent of the wildflowers in the wind. In that memory, he learned so much: he must protect those meadows, and he must protect them fiercely. He must nurture them with a love that could not be extinguished by any amount of smoke or concrete.
