Turquoise sky and purple haze
Green fields with many a maze
Peacock feathers raining down
My mirthful, vibrant, little town
I envisioned a utopia...
The amber shades of earthen glory
A whiff of citrus tells my story
Droplets of crystal in my palm
Sprinkled chocolate, that rich charm
I imagined Elysium...
Glass gates opening into cotton clouds
They shelter earth like silky shrouds
Anthem of serenity lilting about
Such beauty will put reason to rout
I pictured Eden...
Tiki statues carved in teak
Soft breeze, cold water leak
Thick mist brings blurry sunlight
The smell of peace, a touch of white
I dreaded to dream,
To envision, to imagine
I willed not to picture
An unreal joy
A facade of beauty.
For my happiness resides in reality
My reality...
Is you.
