DREAM


Waking up from the dream
a dream where gods walked amongst us
the wind was a gentle caress from the lovers lip
a dream where death was but a myth
pain and sorrow seemed far and distant
where every day was like the first day of spring
at first light the sun shining right through us
a single glance can bring a smile on a stranger's face
the world stopped to listen to a single flower blossom
blood was split only to save lives
where people forgot the sound of gunfire
no more bombs ripping through flesh gut and ceiling
where a child's smile gave the world all its meaning
where humanity was one
wakin up from the dream rubbing my eyes
i step out side, the Indian sun beating down
the blue mountain glistening
i wake up to reality
a reality much different from my dream
but just as beautiful with all its imperfections
coz each day we are moving ever closer
closer to the world of my dream
how many ever times we fall
we get up with a hope stronger than before
