I closed my eyes in the dark of night
in hope and anticipation of a good dream..
and then my dream spilled in colours
over my heart's canvas for a new picture...
a picture so rich in life, so full of beauty
a picture soaked in the sea of my hopes...
I was floating on the fluffy clouds,
wrapped around in the net of my dreams...
Suddenly was I, pulled away from its embrace
Grief filled me, as my dream faded away...
My heart broke down, I was in anguish
deep pain engulfed me leading to darkness..
But then, came an inner voice from me
as I listened, a smile blossomed on my lips...
now I know, those dreams are only mine
and noone can chase away my dreams!
and so I closed my eyes again,
waiting to get spellbound in my dreams...
