Nandita Das Poet Free verse

A Beautiful Dream

I awoke to find silver rays streaming in
In half awake state I lay dreaming
I glide on the silky moonbeams
In radiant moon's soft glow
While sweet breeze sing 
Melody of music as they gently blow.
Floating on soft delicate 
Wisps of pink clouds sailing
Dancing gaily on rainbow across
The sapphire blue sky.
The splendid golden sun paints
The sky pale pink and crimson gold
Purple colored lofty mountains
Waving to me I behold.
Sparkling brooks gurgling and babbling
In sweet ecstasy and glee
Blooming evergreen sheltering trees
Beckon me with wide open arms
Richly fragrant spring flowers
And scented blossoms delight.
Soon the sky turns a purple tinted hue
Golden stars glitter like diamonds
Embedded in a soft velvet sky
Casting an exquisite golden, celestial glow
The moon and stars dance in joyful harmony
Delightful dream filling me with heavenly bliss.
