Poetry Challenge Day 15: Dream

 

I Dream of Better Days

I dream of better days
When a handshake can seal the deal
When I can eat a wild apple, the peel
Stuck in my teeth, juice on my chin

I dream of better days
When a hug will feel like Christmas
When I can choose to stand last
In a line, not feel like sin

I dream of better days
When the playground slide is free
When the masks fall to see
Smiles from strangers and kin

I dream of better days
When hearts’ desires are pursued
When a day lived is not a feud
Between regret and wanting to begin

I dream of better days...
