External Dream<br />
Anupama Sarkar<br />
A girl finds herself stuck on a Hill..<br />
Alone.. Afraid...<br />
Face to Face with Blood and scream<br />
I hired a Taxi for sightseeing<br />
Wanted to explore life in a Touristy way<br />
To go hiking on High Hills<br />
Looking down in Deep Valleys<br />
But scarcely I knew what Life had in store<br />
for me<br />
The Driver was Moody<br />
Left me stranding on Hill Top!<br />
Wearing High Heels and looking Prim<br />
and Proper<br />
I was surrounded with garbage and rotten<br />
litter<br />
Oh! What have I done to deserve this Fate<br />
I stomped my Foot, grumbled choicest<br />
Phrase<br />
But on I trotted, slipping, sliding and getting<br />
up in Vain<br />
I knew my plans were in a Ditch, Trip<br />
ruined beyond Repair !<br />
Suddenly I stepped on Red sticky,<br />
blotched Splash<br />
No it wasn’t Blood, just some Tomato<br />
Squashed<br />
I Lost my Balance and went for a topple….<br />
Falling down and down without a single<br />
hand to hold<br />
I screamed, I cried, Made hoarse groans<br />
O Lord Almighty! Have pity on Me<br />
Show me a Path, Give me some Clue<br />
As I lost hope, There appeared a Magical<br />
Ladder<br />
Rickety, Narrow, Steep, Old but Firm<br />
I held onto it as Noah did to his Ark<br />
With all the trust, courage and Sanity<br />
A Drowning person could Muster<br />
Step by Step I was coming Down,<br />
Still thinking about the Magical person<br />
around<br />
Who has Saved me from Myself and this<br />
horrendous ground<br />
Tring.. Tring..the phone screamed…<br />
I opened my eyes wide and grabbed it<br />
fast<br />
I said Hello in a shaking voice, He was<br />
Calm and Cool<br />
And asked Was I very busy?<br />
Naa. I replied, Jolting myself out of that<br />
silly Dream<br />
Oh! I was just napping<br />
And, now I am back to the Eternal<br />
Dream !<br />
