I Had a Dream

I had a dream of meadows green,
Of lovely, gurgling brooks,
Of picnic treats and chocolate sweets,
Of a land without books.

I had a dream of moonlit trysts,
Of rain-drenched passions wild,
Of soaring high as eagles fly,
Of changes strong and mild.

I had a dream of a cozy nest,
Of little cherubs true,
Of strength of heart to do my part,
Of happy sailing through.

But dreams are dreams and fade away,
Joy, sorrow, name and fame,
The passions dry and cherubs fly,
And nothing stays the same.

There is a place beyond it all,
Where glorious patterns lie,
Dive deep within, and take a spin,
Just open your inward eye.
