A Christmas dream

I dream as I often do
As a special time is due
Christmas builds hope in me
For a World where we are truly free

Free to join hands in caring for our precious abode
Free to be ourselves, yet part of a community
Free not to be classified according to birth, belief or bias
Free to stop searching for a purpose where there is none

Free to love others and be loved
Free to feel the pain of others less fortunate
Free to state our feelings without being judged
Free for our views to be considered dispassionately

Free to receive and understand the views of others
Free to forgive and bear no grudges
Free to let go the burning ember of regret and revenge
Free to be close and respectful to Nature

An interconnected world permeated with respect and love
A veritable Utopia without the need to commit to a Faith,
Judged on action and behaviour, not on empty words
Will my dream come true as a new era dawns?
