I’ve dreamt of realms beyond the sky
Beyond what we can see.
A place you’ll find the peace of mind
An ethereal place to be.
I’ve heard so many stories of old
That only the wise and clever had told.
Some say they’re tales of make believe
But who’s the creator of such stories they weave?
I’ve heard that land is great and grand
With beaches filled with golden sand.
This world is one with infinite love
Where a soul is free, as free as a dove.
A wondrous place with limitless grace
A world not fit for the human race.
This world’s divine, no conflicts or wars
To kindness there are open doors.
There are certain things you’ll have to do
To seek this world some think is true.
You must have the purest heart and mind
Then to this world the door you’ll find.
