Realm of Dreams

By Aparna J

How I yearn for those special moments! 

As I picture myself on a cold and wintry night. 

Sitting beside the fireplace and sipping hot cocoa, 

The warmth of the blanket embracing me, 

While the starry night is singing a sweet lullaby. 

I am ready to enter the world of dreams, 

To explore the vastness of the sky, 

As I drift away from the earthly chaos, 

To appreciate and experience God’s love and grace. 

I now enter the realm of space. 

I can’t help but admire God’s unique creations, 

The infinite stars twinkle like diamonds, 

As a comet sweeps past me in a silver arc, 

The sun illuminates the entire cosmos, 

While the planets move around like a carousel. 

My spaceship goes berserk and crashes,

Into the depth of the blue ocean.  

As I try to stay afloat and swim. 

The vibrant hues of all marine lives, 

Makes me enamoured of the immense beauty of the ocean. 

And then rings the alarm clock, 

Waking me out of my reverie,

Though I am now awake,

Those moments of imagination, 

Fill me with new zeal for life.
