A Weird Dream 

I walk and walk on the empty streets,

Or so they seem to be, when obstacles

Like nets, fences and ogres are placed

In every path I choose to make my escape. 

After so many struggles, I managed 

To climb atop the tallest building 

With my bare hands despite the naysayers’

Snide remarks thrown at me like rocks. 

I close my eyes and cleared my mind,

And suddenly I feel light as a feather.

I open my eyes to see that I’m flying

Without the use of wings or a helicopter.

More and more nets were thrown at me,

As I flown my way towards the end of the dome,

But despite that one moment when I doubted 

That I will make it out alive,

I was literally guided by the light 

And before I knew it, 

I found myself out of that hellish place,

Flying above a floral meadow,

Admiring the azure sky that reminded me of the smooth sea

While being caressed by the sun’s warm hand. 

Something from inside me finally felt at ease, 

The sweet taste of freedom filling my heart with joy. 

I Have A Dream…

I have a dream, in which love conquers all,

We live in peace and harmony with nature

And there is a balance between the mind and the heart, 

Logic and creativity that we equally use 

To solve the mysteries of life, 

To see her beauty more clearly, 

Make the unseen to be seen, 

Make the impossible possible,

To have a better understanding of ourselves 

And the world we live in. 

I have a dream, in which we are caring,

We have time for everyone and everything

Letting our deeds do the talking.

Ethics is our Bible and respect is mutual, 

Every little achievement is a stimulus 

To keep moving forward to make our dream come true.

I have a dream, in which darkness is dispelled

By our inner light that shines brighter than the sun. 

We are free to spread our wings and fly,

Be ourselves and let ourselves shine,

Lies and deceptions are nonexistent,

Happiness fuels our inner peace

And each of lives a meaningful life

Leaving a cultural inheritance to the future generations.
