The Untouched World

In my mind there's a swirl
     of visions and smells,
A world created inside my head...

The water is perfectly blue,
The trees are vividly green—
There are fireflies and tigers,
     bees buzz blissfully among blooms.

This world is untouchded
Pristine—

Our corruption has not marred her beauty.
In this world people are better
     at caring,
     at loving,
     at watching over...

I close my eyes daily and travel here
Wishing my vision was real.
