I have no clue why I wrote this post.It just popped up in my mind one rainy sunday afternoon as I woke up from an afternoon nap.May be it is one of those that is meant to be just written and not read.And if at all you happen to read this one and your mind asks you "What is this lady talking about? "- just relax, because I don't think it would make sense to any sane person :)

In a blissful silence

she glided through the ballroom,

her hair dazzling in the sunlight

streaming through the pearl white curtains,

following her around,

at times twirling with her,

as she danced through the surrounding vastness

-her eyes closed to the world

-her voice a slight hum

-her heart beat the sole rhythm

-her feet tracing a pattern of their own

-her mind free as a stringless kite

-her grace her sole jewellery

 -her face adorned with nothing but a smile

she danced to the tunes

that flowed from her heart,

with no eyes to watch her,

with no voice to mock her mismatched steps

there was no one to please,

no one to tease...

Today within those gold ornate walls,

she was her own mistress

and she danced to the tunes

she had long forgotten...

She twirled with her arms raised,

feeling the rain within her

drenching her soul-

cleansing it of all the scars

it has undeservingly accepted,

filling her mind with a new rhythm,

seducing her closed eyes to open and take in the light...

Her steps growing steadier,

her arms raised to the heavens,

she twirled again one last time before succumbing to their whim..

With a smile and a vision she opened her eyes..

the vision of a shadow beyond the gold ornate walls-

that of a stranger, one with a twisted smile!!

she lay there still smiling,

smiling at her one strange dream-

because never before had she felt so awake!

 it was a dream like no other,

and the meaning it holds, she could nonetheless decipher..
