If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world. ― C S Lewis

I had a dream last night
green, lush green, cool
and mountains of mist
to block the sun at noon
and all the faces that I saw
were just as my very own

It seemed so real, a very place
I woke with a nostalgic urge
for a misty place I’ve never seen
and a question I could not purge…
Could it be there is a world
beyond these walls and bars?
