Money Tree

I saw a dream, the one in color. That made me wonder if it's real. I felt desire and felt purpose. While steering boat made of steel. . There was an island on horizon. And waves were calmly hugging shore. The Sun was shining, clouds smiling. And joy pierced air ever more. . So unobtrusively inviting That island called me - "Welcome in". The Angels sang and fish were jumping. My heart felt like in ... well, in dream. . So, as I paddled little closer I came to see a tree in sky. With mighty roots impaling ground, Thick leaves, ripe fruits and branches high. . The quiet voice without tremble Kept whispering - "man, this is it. Just look at leaves and fill your pockets. They are same green as bucks and greed". . And suddenly, the Sun was winking, The fish and crabs became a stew. The closed doors lost all the lockers. Unreachable got in foot or two. . The life got easier and joyful. So many friends are rushing in. The popularity, butt kissing Shoot through the roof. I'm loved like king. . Then I woke up. The fading patches. The joy inside but pain in heart. Conflict of animals and Angels. Feed Soul or Body, that's our fact.
