Big Blue Marble

I had a dream the other night Dreamt of flying, what a sight Soared above our big blue marble What I saw, I could only marvel Inspired by the peaceful scene The oceans blue, the forests green If only man could soar so high He'd view it all with a different eye From way up there, no sign of war No sign of hunger, of nations poor Harmony reigns with joy supreme Gliding o'er this tranquil scene Call me a dreamer, maybe I am Great way to be, I understand What life's about and why we're here Making friends, spreading cheer Defining laws of right from wrong Singing a chorus of freedom's song Looking forward to a better day We can only hope and only pray I had a dream the other night Dreamt of flying, what a sight Soared above our big blue marble What I saw, I could only marvel

Oh yes, the dreamers make the best poets, the best lovers, and the best inspirers. You inspire me every day! It truly amazes me that you merely started up poetry a couple of years ago. You are so so good at what you do! I imagine you are a very artistic and loving individual in person. I have dreamt of flying many times..."Harmony reigns with joy supreme Gliding o'er this tranquil scene" Love those lines.Your words and imagery soothe me in this one. Always, Laura

Oh my, how you touch my heart and soul! I find it so unbelievable somehow, that I've never met anyone who seems to understand me inside and out the way you do! The years separating us have absolutely no bearing... I am blessed by your friendship! Simply, I love you Laura, your forever friend,Jack xxx
