Venting simple poem i wrote

[interna]

In Some Other Lifetime

In some other lifetime
As some other person
I'd like for things to differ
From how they went for me

I'd want a cozy fireplace
In the loveliest house
Surrounded by family
I think that's all I'd need

I'd love only one lover
And my lover would be good
I'd never get to know
How cruelty feels

What living has to offer
Is pure and unique to me
It's a gift to be alive
I'm sure that's what I'd think

So, in some other lifetime
As someone other than me
I'd like for anything else
To be nicer

You wrote something beautiful, I wish I had read it under the influence of a psychedelic, I wish your poem were a reality for everyone

I hope it rains in this endless range of sand and stone
but even a puddle of your tears will make a forest grow someplace else the clouds have moved to--
as with the storm that they bring,
shall rebuild cities off the ruins it left

The grass will be green, the houses warm and the birds will sing, perching over sycamores;
I will be sitting by one and know that the ferns and ivies I lean on are your arms reaching out from afar
and the morning dews are the gleam of your smile as you've found the peace you've been looking for.
