Last Night

Last night I dreamt that life was beauty.
I woke up and realised that life is duty.
But behind all the pain and the shadows
there is a light that shines even in the gallows.

Last night I dreamt that life was fair.
I woke up & looked out and the world was bare.
But for digging a thousand feet into the soil
gold is the reward that is earned for the toil.

Last night I dreamt that life was bright.
I woke up and realised that life is fight.
But remember that beneath all the competition
there lies an invisible ocean of appreciation.

Last night I dreamt that life was perfect.
I woke up and realised that mankind is the defect.
But even though we are blinded by the night so dark
how else would we see the beautiful stars?
