RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
I am Dreaming
I am dreaming of a world
Where John Lennon enjoys old age
In the company of George and Yoko
Dylan Thomas and Walt Whitman
Where conversation is song
Reflection is poetry
And there is no wrong
I am dreaming of a world where
We all belong
I am dreaming of a world
Where the nightingale sings
Where the air smells of roses
Where waterfalls and clarion calls
Greet every waking morning
Where purpose is a given
Where every breath has meaning
Where there is no wrong
And everyone belongs
I am dreaming of a world
Where heartbreak is measured
By our ability to cope
Where every sad end has a bright
New beginning filled with hope
And treasures of happiness
Where sorrow never lasts too long
And all souls belong
I am dreaming of a place
Where love runs through our veins
In the rivers in the rain
Where every wish is kindness
Where every want is generosity
Where there is no war
Where we’ve forgotten what it’s for
Where there can be no wrong
Where we all get along
And everyone belongs
(after Ferlinghetti’s I am Waiting)
