Whimsical Bliss

In my idling mind

Muse serendipitously alights

I cling to its wings

Let it take me for a flight


Over the tree tops

I see far and wide

Riding on wind

I tousle tree leaves

Stir up dust into haze

Chase butterflies

Follow bees to hives


Wandering in fantasy land

I let genie hold my hand

Inspiration guide my pen

Jotting down whatever

Words imparted to me

Novel ideas beyond my imagination

Spurt out from fount of inspiration


I need not to engineer anything hard

Just sail along with the current

Let it take me to places

Full of wonders and surprises

Never occur in my dreams


Dazedly, I am lifted to a new height

My feelings are sharper

Perceptions keener

Quick thoughts heavenly bestowed

Allow me to improvise poems

In a whimsical bliss
