I prayed for God to show me

my future; just one day!

I dreamed all clocks' were swept away

and i was in control.

 

I removed all traces of paint

on the roads and car park spaces.

I painted the tarmac red instead of black

and made orange the new green

on traffic lights' and coloured the houses purple

with bright blue chimney stacks.

 

I scratched out all appointments,

closed down all the schools

and made my subjects' smile,

even those who would oppose me

when their efforts were futile.

 

I wished there would never be need

for anyone to second guess

the future and what's in it for me.

 

I awoke to a beautiful silence,

the answer was here and clear,

kissing, caressing all that we hold dear

and falling crystals whispering;

If i ruled the world for just one day

i would give you all a blank canvas

and everyone would know

that all their wishes were granted

the day i gave them snow!
