My Dream Vacation
Late into night we sat together to plan the vacation
My husband mentioned an exotic hill station
To which he had been once and had a great time
But my sons preferred another spot fit for adventure
Having entered no amicable settlement
We decided to stop the discussion for the time being
And do some Google search the next day
And went to bed with plans still haunting me
Don’t know when I slipped into a dream
And in my dream I sailed far away over the tame waters
Of a tranquil bay and landed in a magic isle
Never set foot before by anyone alive
A pleasant retreat of birds and beasts
Far removed from world’s dust and heat
A fantasy land with a magic spell
Hidden away at Nature’s veiled breast
The sky was rent with songs of birds
The air, smelling of odors sweet
Here and there were exotic blooms
Bulrush, Blue bells and Lavenders fresh
I roamed frivolously from end to end
Of that enchanted land of idyllic charm
With twining creepers and silken grass
Proclaiming aloud of a perennial spring
My heart leaped in euphoric delight
My senses alerted in ecstatic thrill
My feet moved in an explorer’s gait
After the treasures stashed in its caverns deep
I rambled relentlessly through untrodden paths
Feasting on the marvels, my eyes could catch
Arching trees framing a leafy roof
And fruits, ripe and raw, hanging from every bough
As I tiptoed to pluck the fruits hanging from a bough
My hubby suddenly asked what was wrong
Waking up from my sleep, I realized with a smile
That I have been on my long planned dream vacation
