Mama, I had a dream

Once,

I had a dream,

A huge Skylight!

A destiny

that was bright!

My dream,

was like being merry

Day and night!

To smell lavender!

Now and then

and despite!

Once,

I had a dream,

To me it was like eternity,

Only if it could be given!

a true-love kiss

Not on earth,

but in heaven!

Once,

I had a dream,

to be a bird,

Set free,

In a valley by an ocean,

And a mangrove tree

and a whisper in my ear,

“Mon chéri”

Out of nowhere though,

I was abrupted,

Wake-up! wake!!!

Someone has busted

an innocent snowflake!

N quickly, swiftly!

all that joy,

Has turned fake!

I was awake

In fear,

When I realised, Mama

is not here,

Where did she go?

Mama,

Hello,

I know you hear

How did you, disappear?

Not the best seer,

Could tell,

You would go

In a half

n a year!

Mama,

I am cold

Your son is

Poor and old!

People are all around me

like a sphere!

But no differ,

and nothing is dear!

I had never ever experienced,

A 9-Richter,

Earthquake?

Had never felt

danger, dread,

And shake?

Perpetual suffering,

With no break?

I know

You’re close somewhere

In a beauty of a forest butterfly

up there,

Swirling the freshness

Of a still dawn air

with light and shadow

And a hint of a flare

Only once,

I had a dream,

When I was able

To swim, upstream

Since you departed,

my dream

Was to deem

Seeing you in my dream

as you always seem

Hugging me tenderly

And I promise, I will not cry

Will follow your hug,

With a wimpy kid wave!

Once!

Only once,

I had a dream!
