I’ve had this rather pleasant dream <br />A few times in the past in this lifespan: <br />I would look up above at the blue sky <br />And I would clearly see in it a big city <br /> <br />Of mountains, rivers, trees and clouds <br />Of towers, houses, farms and lights <br />Of people and cars on roads abuzz <br />All in the sky Lilliputian and far away <br /> <br />What it all did mean, I'd never fathomed. <br />But when watching the movie 'Gravity' <br />That Hollywood blockbuster vivid in 3-D <br />Above their craft, actor-astronauts glanced: <br /> <br />And saw big cities tiny in our exquisite Earth, <br />And admired over Ganges, the sun rise, <br />And many other such awesome images. <br />I truly, amazingly re-lived those dreams! <br /> <br />Of course, I can never be an astronaut <br />Nor can I pay up for a fancy space jaunt <br />Act in such a mega movie, I never can. <br />But dream and dream again, I sure can <br />Of panoramic scenes in the sky, can't I?<br /><br />Padmanabhan Ananth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/space-dreams/
