But, all alone I dreamed,

Way past midnight, I dreamed a dream that no one dared dream, 

as panic gave way for peace, there was no talk of the doom

for a hundred thousand oxygen tankers ran to the rescue of ailing ones,

But, all alone I dreamed, for dawn came damning millions  

Yesterday, I was a besotted hero, today I was barricaded by fate

A prisoner of my own thoughts, a pensioner of my testy past

The tonnes of fake news, disinformation failed to make me cry

But, all alone I dreamed, like a lake that's sunk, a river that's dry.

Way past midnight, when nightmares dominate, I dreamed a dream

Of a happy present, to live in the moment, a call for carpe diem.

behold, bliss beyond the scope of logic and filters of feelings...

But, all alone I dreamed, for I lost track of reality and it's trappings.

Pride of the pristine past? What good does it do to a raging heart?

Promise of a fabulous future? What comfort it gives to a restless mind? 
The tryst with destiny turned into a mirage of cruelty
But, all alone I dreamed, for that dream is a work of art, a true beauty!
