I Dream

I Dream

I dream about finding pure words to say,
That sing to the soul and caress the heart;
That make blood-lust in humans go away,
And destroy the hate that keeps us apart.
I dream I can sing with clarion voice,
That makes the Earth tremble and shakes the sky;
That gives the blind haters only one choice,
And leads them to listen to love's pure cry.
I dream the wind brings only scent of rain,
That the acrid fumes of war dissipate;
That twilight can sigh without hint of pain,
And sunrise carries no shadows of hate.
I dream that the senseless killings will cease;
I dream that our children will live in peace!
