a village named dream

there is a village 
in the philippines
named Dream: 	   

a home where 
wild lilies bloom 
        free	

 where 	no bullets
	dare defile the spider’s  
    	  solitude
	and communion 
    with the grass

where girls can swim 
in the river     pick up snails
and come  back home
      unafraid        unscathed

come with me
let us go 
to Dream.
