Dreaming of Reality

O feel the sun so bright
all around I hear
the flowers bloom
though in reality it is still night
I sleep alone in my room

in my bed, all curled up
dreaming of a
special land,
full of splendor and love,
crystalline majestic, ballroom grand

see me here,
so serene and free,
everyone wears a smile so wide,
but most of the time, it's a lovers world
and a man walks by my side.

Grasses and flowers
then fade away
to a beach with miles of sand
my love and I decide to stay
and we walk closer, hand in hand

the surf is in
the distance
O hear the sound of its roar
I stand closer, so does he
waves lap upon the shore

soon my dream begins to fade,
gone is the wind, the sea, the sand
gone is the night, and day
gone are the lovers
hand in hand

soon my dream begins to fade,
gone is the wind, the sea, the sand
gone is the night, and day
gone are the lovers
hand in hand...
....

how often does one wish that a beautiful dream such as this lasts forever...in reality...

nice poem Karilea...enjoyable as ever...

regards, sudhir
