Usually I forget most of my dreams!
Sometimes though images are so strong that their impression remain,
However small it is.
Last night's dream was also something like that.
Couple of short beautiful images-
Under the evening sky, in Nature's garden few mature trees full of spring flowers,
Created a tranquil Ashram like atmosphere.
Surrounded by trees I was alone yet without any sense of being alone.
Calm and peaceful was the place under the dim light of evening sun.
In a bowl I collected those flowers.
Colorful, and vibrant! I remember some bright yellows!
Every petal bursting with a silent joy, lending colors to the evening
moving towards the darkness of night.
Come to think of it, did I experience their fragrance? Not sure!
But their sight was enough to create a serenity that one experiences,
Surrounded by the beauty of nature.
The next image was as natural as the first one!
My eyes gazing upon the two small images to make an offering of flowers.
I do not remember the images clearly but felt a sense of devotion towards them.
Their oblique and opaque structure beyond the grasp of my thoughts or words!

Thank you Bri for all your comments. As always your comments are fun to read.
Sometimes my wife's words and/or actions are: 'beyond the grasp of my thoughts or words! '! ! ! ! ! : (( ***** stars : ) bri
As a teenager I sometimes kept paper & pen (or pencil) [no keyboard then] near my bed to record some dreams. I like when I recall dreams even if they aren't pleasant. : )
I'm enjoying this poem, especially (aka esp.; NOT 'extrasensory perception'! THIS: Come to think of it, did I experience their fragrance? Not sure! But their sight was enough to create a serenity that one experiences, Surrounded by the beauty of nature.'
Savita, I'd probably use 'moon', not 'sun' here, ..unless it was during a solar eclipse: 'dim light of evening sun' ;) bri
May be setting sun would be a better choice. I do remember trying to recall a suitable word which obviously is still out of my mind to depict that time.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
