The rustling leaves & the bumbling bees,
the chiming bells & the gurgling streams;
even the silent shadows seemed to whisper to me.
Colours of joy I saw all around,
Aromas of delight left me spellbound.
Even the mundane chores seemed heavenly;
The real world juxtaposed by dreams
brewed a heady concoction of excitement & ease.
Smiles abound at heart, I waltzed through my way,
Weaving around rosy dreams even during the day.
The bright days evoked the free spirit in me,
The cool evenings kindled in my heart – poetry.
I knew not if this was freedom or love or success,
(but) I had tasted the elixir of life I guess.
