Lately, I've been dreaming,
of a place where the sun shines
and there's always a refreshing breeze
to ease the heat and make you close your eyes
to welcome the playful wind.
Where fields of poppies and sunflowers dance,
a happy army of color
to brighten even the grayest day
and make your lips curl into a smile.
Lately, I've been dreaming,
of a perfect world where
someday and soon are real measures of time
that are actually realistic.
A planet that grants wishes,
like candles being blown out on a birthday cake,
stars shooting across the sky
twinkling with possibility and promise.
Where a dandelion isn't just a weed,
but a gift that recognizes the heart's true desires
and magically sends them to the divine universe
to put in motion a plan to enlighten those yearnings.
Lately, I've been dreaming,
of a place that has time machines,
that allows the impossible,
like the opportunity for a second chance,
or a chance to relive moments you wish you could bottle up
and replay over again
with all the delightful sights and sounds and feelings
there to appreciate once more.
Lately, I've been dreaming,
of a world that celebrates adversity
and encourages the underdog,
that is so often dealt an unfair hand,
to rise above and conquer fears,
to grow stronger with the support of a community
and find peace in a place where pain once was.
Lately, I've been dreaming,
of a time where we don't have to
say goodbyes to the people we could
never live without
or worry about the time on a clock face.
Lately, I've been dreaming
of a beautiful world
where you can just be free.
And that is enough.
