A Dream
Once I had a dream of a gloomy night
Disrupted by a thunderstorm
A tempest irrupted and spread all over the meadow
Lightings like chandeliers brightened the landscape
Intense clangs overwhelmed the quiet lawn
All flowers were bent and closed up
Wind and rain gathered together
The beauty of the exquisite and alluring landscape was frightful
I couldn’t help myself to find peace in this enigmatic dream
My teardrops were falling on my pillow, leaving me gasping out loud
They were tearing my heart out like silver thorns
It was a nightmare that shook me upÂ
The tree fronds were hitting against my window incessantly
The impetuous wind was blowing furiously
I couldn’t understand if I was awake
My tears couldn’t stop falling
Wrapping my body in a beautiful gown
I felt a princess wearing a sumptuous dress
Trembling more than ever at the grumbles of the thunderstorm
Hoping to see a shooting star in the middle of the darkness.
