I run my fingers through the long, lush green grass,
Gently caress the ever-red petals of the poppies.
My eyes revel at the sight of the beautiful clear blue lakes,
And it's obvious that the maker of this land made no mistakes.
This was the perfect land I retreated to in my dreams,
A place that I could truly call home.
And as I flew over the snow-capped mountains that were turning grass green,
I knew that to others, this was a place that could not be seen.
I cherished the moments I was in that world,
For every time I visited,
A new wonder was revealed,
And all my happiness was sealed.

Be careful of dreams, as picking them over reality is bad.
A dream every so often may, and including can, help you however using them over and over (or even once) can be dangerous.
This poem, however, does speak on what you want from the dreams. It speaks and shows your love of the dreams, and if I may be so blunt, your preference over the reality.
Thank you so so much for sharing,

Aww wow, this is so pretty!
I could read this over and over
and never be dulled from the imagery.
I love the lines :
Gently caress the ever-red petals of the poppies.
My eyes revel at the sight of the beautiful clear blue lakes,
beautiful =]
this was so refreshing to read! I feel like this site is full of depressing emotional poems. This was a nice break ^.^

I'm always searching for a poem that could make a beautiful thing even more beautiful. You by far have succeeded that because when I was picturing your poem, it just made me feel so calm and serene. This is most definetely a "Land of Perfection". Good job.
