My Dream, My Yearning

My dream, my undying yearning, 
Is to dwell in a dream-world of my own,
In a misty city amid teal lakes and white peaks,
Filled with clear waters, lush groves and majestic pines,
With marvelous minimalist halls of mid-century design. 

I seek to read in lofty libraries and muse in art galleries, 
To be adrift in abstract beauty and a Baroque adagio, 
To lounge in cafes filled with creative reverie, and 
Elegant silent patrons lost in their daydreams. 

I yearn to spend each sublime evening admiring starry skies 
From under a domed skylight, to enjoy creamy coffee upon a 
Lakeside veranda, amid dew drops and cool blissful breezes,
Gazing at the sun as it slowly rises beyond the skyline.
