A Delightful Encounter

Walking downstairs;  I see particles of light,
Shimmering in my dark brown long hair.
The light of stars is so bright that it
Envelopes all the darkness into light.
Sauntering there; I am made aware,
By the crispy clear voice of my dad saying,
“Come over there!” I stare looking at his short 
Grey hair illuminating a silhouette of bright light.
Dressed all in white, standing. 
A long wooden dining table is next to him. 
That’s where my aunt and uncle are seated side by side.
My father then extends his tan brownish colored hand,
Offering me a golden colored round Ladoo.  
I take it and eat the Ladoo with fervor.  
Chomping away nothing flavorful and salivating,
As my surroundings change to pitch black with holding 
Nothing but air.

An interesting work you have penned. I am wondering what has happened and thinking maybe only a dream that you were experiencing. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K
