I dream..

I dream of running away
To somewhere where I’m not known or recognized
Where life seems tolerable, and all my past is forgotten
Where the grass is as green as it could ever get
And the tunnel is just beaming with light

I dream, because I know it’s nowhere to be found
At least not in this dunya that is riddled with hate
So I close my eyes and envision...

A place larger than life, besieged by beauty
Overwhelmed by peace, love and acceptance
It knows no sadness or tears, no anger or fury
No confusion, disappointment, hatred or ire
Just peace, love and acceptance

But before I know it, it’s time to wake up.
