Green

With clear happy thoughts

I rest my head to sleep

I feel peace all around

As I plunge into slumber deep

I see crisp blue skies

And the sun shining bright

Butterflies flocking white lilies

And the sunflowers woven tight

I hear gurgling waters

And the early birds twitter

The clouds break a melody

I feel rain drops pitter patter

The faint music gets loud

Its beautiful though almost mute

Its mystically mesmerising

A violin? A piano? Or a flute?

This vision of beautiful life

Is what I always yearned for

Love, cheer and smiles

And free from any kind of war

Everything seems so perfect

Yet I seem to carry a ghost

A fleet of memories haunt me

How can I not be the host?

Suddenly I see your face

I smile wide amidst my dream

But I see you with someone else

Then I wake up a shade of green
