Last Night's Dream

Wandering in a desolate desert The sun above shining so bright Searching for water in the mirages To soothe my parched tongue Walking on the hot sweltering sand I am ,with my blistered feet My skin drenched in my own sweat My cheeks wet with painful tears My body lost its last drop of water Fell unconscious under the merciless sun To my surprise ,I woke up on a flowery bed Scented with exotic orchids My ears hearing the music of a rustling brook Opening my eyes to a different scenery My heart got filled with ecstasy Soothing morning Sun I could see In a beautiful pink sky Trees filled with blossoms all around The water of the brook so clear, Shimmering in the morning light I walked up to the brook Placed my wounded feet in it Magically they were healed Healed also was my restless soul I felt at last ,I reached my destiny Then suddenly bells started ringing A shrieking ringing bell I heard Startling me out of my bed It was my Alarm clock Wiping sweat from my brow I remembered last night’s dream I had experienced heaven and hell In just one night, for sure 9/20/2012 written for the contest 'in dreams'
