Living In A Dream World

No consequence nor complexity
nari a worry to be had
no chaos nor diversity
being happy never sad


Living in a dream world
butterfly wings to soar
fearless of possibilities
with opportunities galore

Unconditional acceptance
a face that wears no mask
to be authentic and real
always true the only task 

Like a checkerboard

simply black and white

no hunger or hatred  

no wars we have to fight

 

No steel bars nor barriers
no cages or locks to confine
just an escape from reality
a dream world so divine

  

No pain nor peer pressure
total freedom from it all
living in a dream world
let's you live ten feet tall

      Thank you so much for the silver trophy. I wrote three different poems for this pic and none of them grabbed me and just when I was going to quit and not enter anything...this poem came to me out of nowhere...amazing how things happen.

      Thank you again...I appreciate it.
