Shower of elixir from
The Garden of Eden
Fell on me and kissed
My soiled, ruffled mane.
Softly caressed the cracked lips, cheeks
And ravaged mirth
That was baked and drooped,
In the summer’s hearth.
“Open your mouth”’ the lark
In my heart squirmed.
I obliged, soaked throat in elixir
And tongue moistened.
Green trees at left and right,
Danced and me fanned,
Branches laden with fruits;
Smiled and beckoned.
Fresh and dewy white flowers
Swaying and permeating scent,
Some fell on my crown;
Smiled the hanging crescent.
Cuckoo coo-ed, peacock’s salsa
In his plushy feather,
Doe-eyed squirrels nibbling fruits,
Scampering hither- thither.
Suddenly, a distant call, “M-o-n- -“
And a tap on the shoulder’
Jerked and woke me up
From the surreal slumber.
I rubbed and opened the eyes
And looked around,
Stark reality struck me;
I was sleeping on the ground!
Oh, dear! The evening breeze lulled me
To sleep when I lied
Exhausted, bathing in sweat;
Under the tree shade.
I glanced at my shabby clothes
That has faded with time
Lacked soap-cake, clean water
To wash the grime.
Dear, I had a beautiful voyage
To heaven, vivid till now.
Had royal attire, water to wet lips
And gourmet’s treat, wow!
May be I was in dreamland
Just for awhile
But tasted elixir, quenched thirst
And stayed with style.
Do the animals, insects and
Birds ever dream?
And can they enjoy this bliss
Of heavenly realm??
Nay dear, I don’t think
Even in remote wild,
Thank oh God!
I’m your blessed child.
Thank God again that
You sculpted me as a human,
For awhile I was
In cherry-blossomed Eden.
No more shall I worry oh good Lord
Till my bell tolls, eternal sleep,
This blessed life has some purpose,
Shall justify in this earth trip.
Till I go to eternal sleep- - -
