I dreamt of a Dream…

a poem by Ramya

I dreamt of a dream- a dream it was,
Coloured it was- coloured with love.

Love!
Love for the family,
family of human beings,
human beings of this planet,
this planet of great significance.

Coloured it was-
Also with blood,
Blood of wars fought,
fought to wash away peace,
peace that was as pure as a child’s smile.

Earth showed itself before me,
with no greens and seas.
Earth showed itself before me,
with no care for fellow beings.

But early one day,
people just woke up,
To see the world as place to live in-
with no war and dry lands.
Flowers have bloomed all around,
and all the hearts too…

And just when the whole world woke up,
I found myself awake- on top of my bed-
Scratching my head,
Wishing only the last part of my dream comes real!
