Dream of a place

I long for a place

where the earth

is not hostile

where food grows wild

and people smile

when it rains.

I long for a place

that could cave me in

from all life's hassles

where the wind delivers

fresh breath each day.

I long for a place

where we can be green

If the sun will power us

and I water your dreams

will you meet me there?

We all long for a place free from suffering..
Love the closing lines... Watering the dreams. ..

Fine writing, reads like heaven on earth. Reserving your words in situ.. looks calm and beautiful.

Very pretty. The picture matches the writing very well in terms of depiction and style. The "will you meet me there?" is a really strong ending.
