In Utopia

We ran up the stairs, and found Utopia,

A garden of aura you can only find in dreams,

Not all dreams take you to Utopia, he once told me.

There are those that leave you in throngs of fire,

Breathless and gripping.

–

In Utopia,

splendrous hours of awe I spent in intoxication,

Could heaven be as wonderous as this I asked myself,

A place of immense peace and tranquility.

–

No, none can answer a question that questions the sanctity

of heaven or earth.

–

In Utopia, I left my heart behind.
