My Dream Within A Dream

“Dream on, it costs nothing. Mind is the biggest canvas on which you can daub any shade to colour the dreams that you see while sleeping or awake.” ~ By Poet

As the earth snoozed under a heavy shroud of darkness, weary and work worn, I lay down, dreaming of a peaceful sleep. The moon hang like a silver disc, its shimmering glow filtering through tangled boughs of oak trees. A gentle wind came wafting by with smell of trellised jasmines and sneaked through my open window. Soon I drifted to a dream world. Like a speeding locomotive, that came to an abrupt halt, I lay still, in a coffin. amid scent of burning incense, frozen silence, heaving hearts and silently chanted prayers. The chariot wheeled me along, in my last journey through mazy paths, stretching, stretching to a world, beyond galaxies. I woke up soon, my eyes still shut, A vulture swooped down circling, over my deceased body. Am I dreaming within a dream?

Dear Valsa, I hope this is a complex dream. Being attacked by vultures is not pleasant. A subtle poem deserving high placement.
