In Fairy Tales she lived, away from the world with no friendliness
In the land of books that she loved, away from her loneliness
The "clockwork town" was her favorite companion for tea
One night, The book turned into reality
From her room, she walked upstairs,
She jumped stair in pairs
To someone's corner shelf's door that was ajar
She asked herself, did I really walk that far?
She looked around to realize
There were the pictures of her book, that were too big in size
She roamed around the enchanted jungle
She smiled, every time a clock jingled
She walked and talked with the little animals
She was sleepy, but now it felt trivial
She saw a snow white floating bed
Just like the book said
She hopped on to the bed & instantly fell asleep
Next morning will she remember that this was real & not a dream that she has seen in her sleep?

DeleteNext morning will she remember that
ReplyDeletethis was real & not a dream
This often is a dilemma of dreamers not wanting to accept a reality

Isnt that always, sometimes dreams look way too real than reality

One often wonders whether a dream is real and wanting more if it was a good dream. Very true Dee Dee. One wants to remember and relive them as often.

Sometimes people live the life that they want in dreams wishing it was for real.
DeleteWho knows when dream can turn into reality.
Right?
magical!

DeleteEchoses of Alice in Wonderland and Where the Wild Things Are.
ReplyDeleteI especially loved this:
"From her room, she walked upstairs,
She jumped stair in pairs
To someone's corner shelf's door that was ajar
She asked herself, did I really walk that far?"
So clever and evocative!
