I wrote the following poem in June 2011. This is the first time it has been published.

DREAM

Dream pure water,
Dream liquid vision,
Dream Shiva as Vishnu caught her,
Dream Goddess Ganga's earthly mission.

Dream still water,
Dream rain falling straight from heaven,
Dream River Styx as you cross her,
Dream rivers rising 'til 2027.

Dream Sacred water,
Dream Blessed Holy Cows,
Dream chanting monks as they intone Buddhist charter,
Dream reverent nuns and priests with furrowed brows.

Dream deep cold sea,
Dream spiny fish and cephalopod,
Dream splendid blooming coral tree,
Dream sea snakes, sharks, deep diving schools of cod.

Dream inert deep space,
Dream asteroid and twin-tailed comet,
Dream Moon's green cheese face,
Dream galaxies and suns that flare, then calm it.

Dream expanding Universe,
Dream fabled Andromeda and Sirius,
Dream imploding poetic verse,
Dream tragic nebula and friend Arcturus.

Dream blind cosmic dreams,
Dream rolling ocean waves and tide,
Dream reams of static idle dreams,
Then dream fantastic solar systems, far and wide.
