Castle of Dreams

A migrant bird flew

into my backyard one day

So long she was there,

she narrated of her homeland,

and of its beautiful places,

its stunning waterfalls,

its dark rain forests,

its tasty fruits and nuts,

not knowing time slipping away swiftly.

I longed to fly with her,

to her beautiful land,

to bathe in the waterfalls,

to stay nights in the rainy forests,

to listen to the music I never heard,

to know of the unknown species,

and to be with her always

to spend my lifetime happily!

Together, we set out,

crossing the great oceans underneath,

me getting exhausted half the way,

and she flying ahead and ahead!

I rose from my dream

to see me lying down the bed!
