Heaven?

In dreams i have seen this place,
And some reason i don't know my face.
I see the fields white like cotton,
No one heals, no ones stopping.
I see the place where i grew,
I see the face that i knew,
Pain strides for everlasting doom,
Rain subsides the gaping wound,
Mounds upon mounds of scorching regret,
Perfume the air toward the sunset,
Beautiful pink clouds bring the relief,
Nightfall begins with the belief.
Death has come to take me away,
In his casket goodbye to today.
So graceful is the clouded air,
So tasteful is the mounted stair,
The imagination brought forth to reality,
Now so beautiful i see the brutality.
The brains and minds of fellow beings,
Becomes my heaven, become my seeings.

It's almost like a mixed up dream in this write. Some of it sounds like a good dream, some of it sounds like a bad dream. Leaves a lot to the imagination. Good write though.
