Once upon a midnight
I noticed an universe
with an amber dream
outside my window
parallel to my world.
My world had friends,
enemies, objects & half-finished jobs.
The parallel universe was a beauty,
with vast, blue sky,
a few pure white clouds & eternal grace.
I sat upright on my bed,
and began to think,
How should I bring together
the parallel worlds?
Can I even attempt it!
Between the branches,
among the tree leaves,
the golden lamp swung
helpless, I stared at its glow,
awake till the dawn.
One part of me took the lamp,
and traveled into the amber dream
while the other stayed back,
to wake up at dawn,
& start the old life again!
The amber dream remained a pleasant dream,
which my reality never met!!
