Under a placid blue sky
A dog dreams an interstellar dream
Of gallivanting on the rusty lands of Mars
Of swimming across a sea of stars
Sudden fluttering of a bird\'s wings
Wakes the dog from its cosmic dream
Nature\'s symphony lulls it back to sleep
Now it dreams a waking dream
Amidst the gentle pitter-patter of monsoon showers
The dog dreams a lucid dream
A raised human hand
A stone hurtled at the solitary dreamer
The dog no longer dreams
Of an untainted moon
