A Gift

I rub my eyes vigorously,
Till I see stars in the daylight.
Sunlight streams in,
Through the dusty window.

 The dewdrops sparkle,
On the green grass outside,
While the bees buzz dreamily,
Around the honeysuckles.
I hear the Wind whispering to me,
Mischieviously.
Hinting at me to guess.
Carrying the sweet aroma.
Intoxicating me with happiness.

 She sends me a gift every morning.
Mother Nature.
A sight to behold.
To marvel at.
To dissolve in.
To forget myself.

Her pleas for help had failed While the golden waves danced around her. Then all was quiet. Nights like these, She missed them. Wondering whether they did too.

One day, her dream stared her in the face She was too numb to react “Dreams do come true. I can’t believe it, “, she cried “Maybe, I was too afraid, I’d fail” she said & smiled.
