A World of Dreams

A World of Dreams

Let the stars gleam through the faults in an obsidian blanket

And the wind howl through the crevices of a marble keep

Let there be a storm of thunder to tame a scorching summer

And a blazing fire to curb a vicious winter

Let the scent of peppermint waft through a forgotten thicket

And laughter ring through the alleys of a cobblestoned city

Let opulent flowers smother hollow crypts

Or let the moon turn the rippling sea into a belt of opals

Let the light pierce a galaxy of shadows.

Let love cut through a blockade of prejudice.

Let there be a world made of dreams.

Let music resonate in the place of screams

Of bullets and arrows,

And of orphans and widows.

Let there be hope
