Dream Of Night Sky Poem by Istiqur Rahman

I looked at the night sky
And What did I see? –

The stars were just hanging there
Looking at me.

I took a deep breath
And shut my eyes,
Stretching out my arms
And to my surprise –
I was floated up
On a sea of fresh air;
And sang to the moon
While I was there.

Hearing a lullaby so gentle and deep,
I watched the moon as
She fell asleep.

The sun woke up –
I saw him rise;
It’s the time to wake up –
The cockerel cries.

And so I drifted back to earth
Upon an azure steam,
To find that I was in my bed
And it was just a dream.
