I Dream of Dreams

I dream of dreams. Some dwell in extremes, on the edge of screams But I bathe in streams, of water that gleams I dream of dreams, where life's not as it seems All humans esteemed, and on the same team No evil schemes, as perfection redeems When God rules supreme, it's not just a dream. January 05,2017 For rhyme battle contest

Superbly done. Monorhyme is a frustrating bell to competently ring so extra kudos to you. It reminds me of a book I recently read on relinquishment except for you achieved in 6 lines what the book took 200 pages to do.
