Dream

I dream of a day when we can truly understand one another

Of a world greater in every way than the one we live in today

Then I wake up to a world laid waste due to destruction caused by none other than mankind

I weep bitterly for this world

My tears escape to the shelter of ill stricken soils of a desolated and dead earth

Then I realize I am still dreaming because

Life springs forth from an utterly deceased, crusted shell of what used to be called “earth”

And sprouts,

And blooms,

And blossoms into happiness

And pollinates this lifeless rock that had once been consumed by hatred

WILL WE CONTINUE DOWN THIS PATH OF DESTRUCTION!

How long will we foolishly,

Naively,

Take for granted all that we’ve been blessed with

These thoughts race through my head

And then I wake up

It’s a beautiful day outside

The sun’s never shined so bright

The birds singing their melodies,

Bee’s buzzing in my ear,

And the wind’s there too

Blanketing me from the sun’s rays with its anesthetizing caress

I step out closer to the edge of my balcony to soak in the awesomeness of it all

In the midst of exhaling the balcony gives away

I plummet seven stories to a most certain death

My life flashes before my eyes

I cry out for help

Useless I know but a natural reaction

It’s only natural we cry out for a savior when in harm’s way

"I guess this is it"

I think as I fall

But wait I am screaming?!
 
and yet nothing is coming out?!

..........

....Sigh of relief...

….I'm still dreaming......

And then I fly away for the very first time
