My Dream

For god’s sake leave me to dream

never scan nor shock them

with your dark realities.

My dreams are cloud flakes

float and travel to far away skies

where stars come to hold hands

and dance fancifully to create and bless.

My dreams illuminate my world

small, dark and crowded

lift me to silent meditation

where beauty and order reigns.

My unsung hymns tune up

the omkar of my heart

my dreams play the symphony

on notes and pitches of soul.

My dreams never fade or dissolve

my desires stuff my undying  dreams

to carve out and accomplish

a creamy morn of new hope.

I never desire Eden

where the first sin threw man

down to suffer and die

I dream of a bright day

in the thoughts of my loved ones.
