Said a maiden looking up <br />To the sparkle that was a star, <br />'Dear God, unlock my cage <br />And let me go yonder into that <br />Moon-washed field. <br /> <br /> <br />Let me be alone and lie down <br />To tumble in the dewy grass, <br />to move about without direction <br />In union with raptorous eternity. <br /> <br /> <br />So now her wish was granted. <br />She picked up one foot, <br />She floated for she took relish <br />In the blue-green sea of light. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />When tumbling her pink and blue frock, <br />Pressed all around her. <br />Her black hair around it. <br />Now one star becoming two, <br />Descended and fiiled her eyes, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />With her black hair, <br />And all dewy eternity caressed her. <br />She floated into the stars. <br />She was with him, not alone.<br /><br />Vera Sidhwa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dream-434/
