A Day Out In The Sky

This one's for my sweet little Aayushi :)

I lie in my garden and gaze at the sky

I see the fluffy white clouds drift by

I imagine myself among those clouds

Singing songs and laughing aloud

I meet and gossip with a fairy or two 

Revel in emotions, wonderful and new

I dance with all the sylphs around

And hear nature’s beautiful sounds

I come across a castle of dreams

The fairies declare me as its queen

I wear wishes and hopes as my crown

Dress in glass slippers and satin gowns

The sun looks down and smiles at me

And the child in me claps in glee 

I lie back and bask in warm sunshine

Feeling so carefree and divine

The moon gently spreads its light

I gaze in wonder at the beautiful sight

I fill my pockets with a handful of stars

Those shine so bright, near and far

I feed on the air and drink in the breeze

And play some games with fairy pixies

Finally tired, I come back to the ground

And fall asleep in my bed so sound
