DREAMS

 

 As the moon takes over her empire at night

With the stars thronging to see their lovely queen,

Night sets in, following its own course.

A silent witness to this royal show I am,

As my little window reveals to me

All the beauty of the heavenly display.

 

Slowly now, my eyes are closed

And I’m taken to a land unknown.

Slowly am I made a captive

Nothing can I do, but remain passive.

Little do I know about my station

And never would I know my true position.

 

Taking me to indefinite frontiers

Elevating me to incalculable heights!

What do I know of this unreal world?

What do I have to reckon about?

Yet, I am motivated to new limits

And new beginnings bloom in my life.

 

All after a single night?

Misery and distress are no more there.

Filling up their place is joy and laughter.

I often wonder at the transformation thereafter,

Occurring in a nights span:

All because of a pretty dream!

 

Perhaps, God gave man the gift of dreams

To showcase the brighter side of life.

It transmutes us from our state of gloom

And elevates us to the gleams of joy.

Oh God! Whenever my eyes droop in sleep,

Let my dreams reflect the blessings you’ve showered on me!
