Dream Catcher
Dreams have always been an integral part of my life, in ways i can never express in mere words. Each time they have embraced these eyes, they have turned me up side down and bought out a new me(whom i never knew existed in me). I wish i had more time to write some original piece of poetry on dreams but alas.. life's moving so fast and there's no time to relax and unwind. I dedicate this beautiful poem by sarojini naidu to those wonderful dreamy feelings :)
Once in the dream of a night I stood
Lone in the light of a magical wood,
Soul-deep in visions that poppy-like sprang;
And spirits of Truth were the birds that sang,
And spirits of Love were the stars that glowed,
And spirits of Peace were the streams that flowed
In that magical wood in the land of sleep.
Lone in the light of that magical grove,
I felt the stars of the spirits of Love
Gather and gleam round my delicate youth,
And I heard the song of the spirits of Truth;
To quench my longing I bent me low
By the streams of the spirits of Peace that flow
In that magical wood in the land of sleep.
~ Sarojini Naidu
