Weird Or Stupid

I locked the door, I'm pretty sure I locked it. But in the early morning it stood ajar. Memory lane - I came, I smiled, I grasped the handle and drew it shut and..turned the key...SURE I SHUT IT! "Well..may be I never shut it at all." The phone rang, I got up the bed and groped around in the dark. 'Hello" - no one answered. I staggered to bed and dropped to sleep. In the morning, I checked the indicator - no number there. Memory lane - I was sleepy, it rang once, twice... My eyes opened. I saw a chair.The chair was here...So? "Oh...may be I had been dreaming. It's ok." I handed my purchases at the counter. The salesgirl smiled at me, she was waiting for me to pay. My purse, where was my purse? He said 'basket', just as I saw it in the empty basket. I tended a large note to the salesgirl and turned to say 'thanks' to him. But there was no one. Memory lane - I'm sure a man said 'Basket", the voice was assertive and mature.. "Never mind...may be it was the salesgirl's voice!" I clung standing in the bus, I gazed tiredly out at the bus stop..many people were there. The bus heavily drew forward, more people had come in. I saw a glimpse of Dad standing down the road. "Dad?" I gasped. Everyone looked at me suspiciously. "Hey stop!". I pushed my way out. People were muttering. I was running back down the road. No one - certainly not Dad. A car stopped screeching. My neighbour dropped me home. Dad was watching TV. "Where were you?" He looked at me perplexed. "Watching a movie since an hour!" Memory lane - I saw dad standing there drawing away slowly as the bus moved. "Its all right,.. may be I'm very tired!!!" 16/05/16 Featured on 5/06/16

May be you're right...for we never know the secret of this universe, in thousands of way it is expressed everyday but I do think there's something much powerful than us living by our side all the time! You've got great insight. Thanks for honoring me with your visit to my poems and leaving such inspiring comments dear friend.

Sunita,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Thanks for such a warm welcome among you, Linda. I really appreciate your help and I will surely come back to you soon. Your poems are great. As I am new to poetry writing I'm still getting familiar to different forms of writing (studied at university in theory!) :D

Symptoms of sleep deprivation Sunita are what comes to mind. Or did you really see what your saw but in another dimension ?
