On MARS

Of a dream of night I need to tell,

In an environment of cloud and smoke, to Mars, I set sail,

I don't know for how many hours I was in a state of suspended animation,

From the top, all countries looked like dots, even my own nation!

It was a crash landing and my spaceship window gave a view of a rocky terrain,

No sign of water, no sign of rain,

I made up my mind to explore,

Just my voice reverberated as I wanted to see more,

I came near a gigantic volcano,

Dormant now , but ready to erupt soon,

Where should I run for shelter, for protection and warmth?

I was all alone on the rocky planet with nobody to call my own,

I saw minerals too, I saw gold,

Suddenly I felt rich in self-congratulation,

A wind came from north, and my spaceship was shred to pieces,

I cried, I yelled and wanted to return to my masses,

From behind, someone so sweetly called my name,

Reassured of a companion I turned around,

My mother was assuring me, with a pleasant smile,

I woke up in the middle of the night, realizing I had dreamt all the while!
