"A Dance Of Desires"

In a bygone era, adrift like a fractured leaf, I roamed,

My heart was heavy with pain, in sorrow, I was atoned.

Even in the dark night, the stars were shining bright,

I stared hopelessly as the hurt kept me quiet.

I witnessed a shooting star, leaving my sky behind,

I heard the belief that they granted wishes, a hope in kind.

Without many thoughts, my soul screamed aloud,

"I want to go to a place where grief is disavowed."

Later, I forgot that night and began to walk alone,

Patience gave me courage, and I crossed each stepping stone.

When and how happiness entered, I had no clue,

A rain of fulfilling dreams showered out of the blue.

A peacock inside my heart started to dance on its own,

Desires and wishes can come true; it was never known.
