I dreamt a dream so perfect
That I nearly wept
The world as I knew it
Held beauty I won’t soon forget

The sky was a velvet black
Marked with the pinprick of stars
The earth green and lush
Bearing no man-made scars

Rivers flowed lazily
Without a care in the world
The animals played so happily
Wild and undisturbed

I walked amongst them, hesitantly
Yet they showed no fear
I was taken in and accepted
When I saw something appear

A man so unique
Unlike any other
With inky locks and a charming smile
My knees turned to rubber

He approached and took my hand
Leading me into a clearing
Where we danced beneath the stars
I nearly forgot I was dreaming

But as the sun rose over the far horizon
I awoke to find myself alone
Longing for the vision
I had so briefly been shown
