Dream Catcher

By Amitrajit Sarkar

At the crack of dawn in the middle of nowhere

A raven flies smoothly to the west

Frozen lake that was contemplating all alone in the stillness of night suddenly get a pale scarlet hue as the first light falls over it

With a sudden start a butterfly takes its flight ready to break its fast with freshly churned nectar

Kettle with water starts broiling merrily by the larking flame coming from a blazing fire

Ready to start the day with a cup of unsweetened black coffee

People with tin mugs in hand huddle around the campfire

Dogs starts barking and jumping up and down their masters only to get a piece of fish or meat

Hanging from the low ceiling a circular object with intricately design by hides, threads, and feathers-a dream catcher

Saving the soul from harming

Helping to prosper and to get more out of life

In reality, life goes on uneventful irrespective of everything
