I Dreamt of a World

                                            I dreamt a day with sunshine so bright

Would shine my world, than a billion lights.

I dreamt a night, moon with a smile

The twinkling stars, guided me miles

I dreamt a wind, blew so sweet

Filled with fragrance, protected me from heat

I dreamt a dune, with ripples so rippled

Seemed a sight like, sea lil crippled

I dreamt a mountain, touched the sky

It reached above clouds, made me delighted.

I dreamt animals, roaming so free.

The way nature created ‘em,  a sight to see everyday.

                                            I dreamt plants, in which flowers bloomed.

                            Beauty of theirs, so smile to gloom.

                            I dreamt nature, natural than self

                                         The heavens wondered, why detached it from self.

                                         I dreamt a world, in peace and serenity

                                   Creators of war uttered, have done what to yee.

                             I dreamt a world, dreams came true.

                             Everybeing chanted “creators, Thank You”!

                              I dreamt a dream, so dreamy, so great.

                                                                     But when up I got, Life said-

                                                                         “YOU ARE TOO LATE”.
