A Mystic Dream

Deep in sleep, in a moment of lull,

I entered into my own world,

A world so fictitious and mystic,

Adorned with jewels and emerald hanging upon,

In a beautiful milky lustrous gown,

Ruby hanging on my wrist,

Diamonds encircling my waist,

Legs resting in sparkling sandals,

World omni-lustrous as if lit up with candles,

I step ahead and look at the sky,

I can see the phoenix flying so high

Luxuriant ground all green covered with grass,

Very far, I can see a fountain dropping water with a splash,

I can see unicorn lumbering all around,

And all giving strange sounds,

Nearby the green I can see a pound,

Ducks paddling in the bluish green water with a quacking sound,

I continue to walk examining the nature,

My heart is filled with pleasure

Suddenly zephyr starts blowing,

Bringing rose fragrance flowing,

Seeing this beautiful weather I feel agog,

Exulted I run and caper holding my frock,

Jumping and running I come in front of a magnificent castle,

All decorated with diamonds and hanging tassels.

I enter inside, it’s giant gate,

And finds a mysterious garden, leading to a path straight,

I come across a splendid entrance, I step inside,

And I am stunned to see the bright light,

Walls with embedded ruby,

And are very glazy,

It is a big hall with people all around,

I also step ahead to join this crowd,

People are looking at me with a strange respect,

What is my identity to them I suspect,

Everyone clears from my way,

And I find the most lustrous seat for the princess of this palace,

Then I realize this princess is no one else but me,

Reason why people were looking at me with dignity,

My servants help me to get seated on my throne,

Suddenly I hear some noise like a horn,

I open my eyes and find myself on my bed,

And so it was a mystic dreams and now I have a day ahead.
