Yesterday Night, I Saw A Dream ~ Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Yesterday night, I saw a dream ~
the stars were descending from the sky,
and I was attempting to grasp them,
with my both hands spread out -
In an avaricious attempt to seize as many,
as they illuminated the dark night with their shimmering,
I empathized with those in profound sleep.

Amidst a multitude of shooting stars descending from the sky,
I hastily collected as many as I could
and stowed them away in my pockets,
Then, I beckoned to others to seize them for me.
Perplexingly, the stars vanished upon contact with the earth,
In my eagerness to gather more,
I stumbled and fell to the ground,
And lost my entire collection,
abruptly awaking from my slumber,
my palms were devoid of any celestial remnants,
leaving me to ponder their mysterious disappearance.
