WAS IT HEAVEN??

Last night I dreamt of angels,

Like those in grandma’s fables,

They came gliding through my window,

Beautiful little angels without a shadow,

Picked me up like I was a child,

Seeing me bewildered, they smiled,

"Speak nothing o infant, just surrender,

As the dream you are in is tender”

Said one of them looking me in the eye,

Hypnotised, I bid everything goodbye.

And the next moment I was in a city,

A city of no hopes and no surmise,

Where the residents were neither fools nor wise,

The hearts and minds free in flight,

Unlike the string in the end of a kite,

The clouds beneath and the stars, I plucked

Like a heedless child without a fright,

The winds that ruffled my hair,

Tickled like I was free of all despair,

Were the people walking past me Gods!!

Coz I felt my soul was rendered bare,

And all my guilt and sins were shared.

When their shoulders brushed against mine,

I experienced a delight that was divine,

A city of all the answers that was,

Tranquilizing my insides, ending the draught,

Beautiful little angels appeared,it was time to go,

“Speak nothing o infant, just surrender,

As the dream you are in is tender”

Said one of them looking me in the eye,

Hypnotised, I bid everything goodbye.

And the next moment I was on my bed,

In a city that was concrete and like a closet,

Sitting up on my bed I wondered,

Was it heaven? and the thought lingered..
