A Different World

by William Mae   May 11, 2018



In other realms to most unknown,
In dimensions’ one must ponder,
My mind traveled there in dreams,
Then settled in to wonder.

Sailing cross a nameless sea,
Above the waves of memories,
A breeze of yesterday blew in,
Painted me this scenery,

I viewed a life unparalleled,
On higher plains it measured,
Values beating heart came not,
By monetary treasures.

Here the greatest peace had rose,
Through merely gifts of giving,
With self a far off distant thought,
Unlike where we are living.

Life is upside down on earth,
We seek for things that’s passing,
Ignore eternal gifts we have,
Although we know those lasting.

The materialists hand holds to lies,
It values only treasure,
Its fleeting pomp deludes the truth,
To promise days of pleasure.
