A Lovelier and Calmer Planet

I floated into the windless sky of the tranquil night visited by minuscule stars that were subdued by dim moonbeams calling for some gleeful dreaming; and I wistfully dreamed of a lovelier and calmer planet remembering two kind and sincere eyes much lovelier than bluebells swaying in clay pots. I kept thinking of other universes never discovered by me and they surely existed beyond ours which couldn't thrill me anymore with its mysteries; dazzlingly beautiful they were as they expanded further into interstellar infinity... showing a grandiose light surpassing the one seen by the shepherds. Many hours went by, and soon what I had envisioned started to vanish before dawn, and floating back to earth I beheld that awesome vision of the Heavens. I landed in corn fields tangled by tarn that made me cringe, tasting unripe corn; and cherishing what I saw, I recalled that sojourn which lasted for long hours! I told everyone what I had seen in that dream so realistic, but they jeered at me, believing I was hallucinating; I even had to endure some tongue-lashing from mother as she noticed my pants togged in my boots: " You look like a soldier!" she screamed. . I'm hoping to return to that lovelier and calmer planet, where everything is peaceful.
