A Poet’s Dream: A Vision of an Ideal City

As we look to the future, cities are evolving to meet the challenges of sustainability, equity, and technological advancement.

Smart cities, with their interconnected systems and data-driven solutions, are emerging as a vision for the future.

In the heart of mine, a poetic imagination lies a city, not of stone and steel, but of hope, love, and unity.

My poem, “The City of My Dreams,” paints a vivid picture of an urban utopia, a place where the human spirit soars and dreams take flight.

#The City of My Dreams#

A city of dreams I aspire to see,
Where stars of hope shine brightly free.
Every lane adorned with smiles so rare,
Every street has beauty to share.
No distances happen to keep us apart,
Every soul breathes with an open heart.

A city of dreams, my heart’s delight,
A city of loved ones, glowing bright.

Mornings adorned with golden rays,
That touches the heart in gentle ways.
No darkness, no cracks to mar,
Every heart filled with love’s sweet nectar.
A journey blessed with joy untold,
Where sorrow’s grip has no stronghold.

A city of dreams, my heart’s delight,
A city of loved ones, glowing bright.

Weary eyes find a place to rest,
Where stories of life are shared with zest.
Even tears learn to smile again,
No cause remains for lingering pain.
Tied together in a bond so true,
Love flows freely, like morning dew.

A city of dreams, my heart’s delight,
A city of loved ones, glowing bright.

Where moonlit nights sing songs of cheer,
And love resides in hearts sincere.
A home painted with dreams so bright,
A true tale of hearts forever alight.

When will that dawn grace the skies?
Where joy will bloom, and sorrows die.

This is the question, my heart’s delight,
Of a city we love, glowing so bright.
(Vijay Kumar)
