Memories

Today I woke from what seemed a dream
where and when I still am not sure.
It is not the same place I was
it seems more loving and oh so pure.

All my friends are still here with me
the pains are gone as are the cause.
I feel loved and return it as well
the losses all cause me to give pause.

In this perfect world I am now in
I have so little challenge to be better
nothing of hate so love seems less
my life now seems all unfettered


Please who ever brought me here
return me to where I was before
it was not perfect but neither am I
here I fear I will become a bore

We all need the challenge of others
it's what drives us to some how excel
even mediocrity would be less cold
all here now only make my head swell

Now I truely wake in morning's light
refreshed from sleep but still in doubt
if the perfection I saw was possible
staying in reality is worth the shout.
