I’ve checked out of reality
To live within a dream
A land of unfeigned kindliness
Where all is as it seems.

Duplicity does not exist
Can’t darken sun-filled skies
A promise made is always kept
For no one ever lies.

No sickness, grief and tragedy
To mar the human race
No broken hearts, no loneliness
Reside within this place.

It suits me well, so I'll just stay
Within this lovely dream
Where everything is beautiful
And is just as it seems.

Sounds like a nice place to live in dreams.
I myself find it in the fly waters of life and perhaps some day the two will meet.

How wonderful if we could all find a place such as this Denise.
What wonderful thoughts in this piece!

Denise,
What a lovely place you describe, kinda makes me homesick. Here's hoping that it all carries over into everyday life for you.
