I was walking through a deep gorge,dwarfed by tall,green,upwardly unending trees. The patch of sky beyond the top of trees hung like a drape enhancing my seclusion from the world .Everything stood still under the spell of hazy twilight .
slowly the early morning light started to move soundlessly over the tree tops .The sky started shedding its passive stillness and the glow of colours started drifting in . The first ray of sun fell on thin long blades of grass at the top of a gigantic boulder and they sprang like shimmering streams of an emrald fountain .
I reached a clearing .The mountains at the other end ,behind the dreamy blue haze ,with their head held high ,eager to kiss the glowing expanse of sky were inviting.
A mighty stream was flowing across the valley, dancing,prancing and curling over and around the soft skinned pebbles .I traced its movement back and was mesmerized by the stupendous downpour of a magnificient fall.As the twilight curtain was raising the gushing ,rushing and leaps of the cascade could be seen and felt .From a closure quarter ,the silence could have echoed with its resounding movements but from the point i was standing it gave a feeling of slithering movement of a symphony .
Seeping in the quiet and serenity i was looking for an ideal place to settle down comfortably with my back resting against a rock .I was ready to let myself just be ,to be one with the nature . just then a shrill sound pierced through my consciousness.
I woke up with a start to see my son's grinning face.
"whats the matter?" I asked astounded.
He kept grinning...."Nothing, today I got up early to study. just saw you sleeping with a blissful smile on your face...."
"So...???" I had still not come to terms.
"So...i whistled into your ears....to wake you up....need some hot bournvita to solve my maths problems..."
I heard him with the crash of a disturbed dream. Teeth, a little clinched, but he had such an infectious smile, I had no way but to smile back at him, leaving that heavenly solitude of gorge. I was into a different world filled with the humdrum of real dreams.Rightly said, twilight dreams translate into reality.....starting the day with his grin....such an heavenly feeling it was...
heaven of my dreams...
