A dream continuum

 

Yay and I shall walk into the fields of Ylyium

Where grow the blessed fruits of love

Among the flowers of compassion and of

Brotherhood, and Everlasting Joy, and I shall

Wear their petals and fly with the birds of

Hope to spread the seeds of Understanding,

 

And I shall walk through the tall grasses

Of Everlasting Peace, in the Fields of Ylium,

And when I walk through the sunset,

I shall live with Poets.

 

Yay, and when I walk through the

Underbrush of doubt, I shall sweep away

Consternation, and we shall all live

As one nation in moderation sans all the

Hate and aggression and want and greed

And imbalance, for there, in Ylium, thrives

The commendments of civility and loyalty,

For it is there, in Ylium, that lives grace

And the sharing of the profundity of Life,

 

And all the secrets of life,

Secrets that elude us mere mortals, so busy

With our own little existences that we miss

The glory of living, the joys of sharing, the

warmth of caring, even the thrill of daring

to trust our own kind when, after all, we are

all of a kind, and kind is the root of kindness,

and kindness is the path to the prosperity of

Humanity in full bloom.

 

Yay, and we shall inherit the best of the Earth

In communion with the fulfilment of the best

Of our dreams, and we shall learn the best of

Each other in love and protection,

 

For in truth, are we not all joined at the hip?

 

Yay, and we shall all walk hand in hand in

Peace, there, in the land of Ylium.

 

—H. W. Bryce

At the other end of this contiuum lives nightmares and Chaos.

We do not wish to go there.

There lives the russian war. And all evil.
