A World for you

I am dreaming a world for you,
a world of our fascinations,
not of equals, but devoid of comparisons,
where differences exist for variety.

A world bigger than just you and me,
where you matter more than your happiness,
and we matter more than our existence,
where a tear of gratitude outweighs a bowl of ambrosia.

Where a walk in the slush of paddy fields,
brings an ecstasy beyond the comforts of a Persian carpet.

Where my presence brings in you,
the peace of a stroll under fourteenth moon.

A world beyond regions, beyond limitations,
where judgment prevails over feelings,
where traditions are not holy cows,
and culture is not in rituals.

A world of compassion, A world of understanding,
where respect stems from love and not from ability.

A world beyond, but within us.
I am dreaming a world,
For you!

As many such worlds as there are people. Like you said, 'A world beyond, but within us'. Fantastic flow, Vivek. :)

Vivek what meaning does this line convey?
Well written. I especially likes the last few lines...A world beyond us, but within us. Good one

A world which is not a remote house on a floral hillock, where just two people live happily ever after.
It is big and it is in the middle of all the hustle-bustle life has to offer.

Happiness is a state and a person in a relation is more valuable than a temporary state. We often end up aiming to keep people happy rather than work for their progress.

In essence, the paragraph is trying to convey the importance of a relation beyond the people involved.

Gratitude towards such a relation is valued more than immortality in that World.
