Notes About The Poem

Nymphs At Play

It is not easy to happen upon them,
Pure nymphs in their natural beauty.
It happened to me only once when
I was resting beneath a red sunset maple, 
As the summer hear began to soar.

A stone throw away was a lively stream
Around which grew in flower
A clump of  Crape Myrtle Dwarves.
The breeze blew softly carrying 
Some mellifluous melody,
Whilst nubile gorgeous maidens,
Laughing merrily frolicked
An amorous intense folk dance.

Then some loud noise disturbed the peace.
And all disappeared out of sight.
Was it a dream?

I am for past 15 days seeing an image of myself falling flashing in front of me, can't make out what it is. Is it a warning signal or figment of my imagination. Not sure...
