AN INTRUDER IN MY br WORLD OF DREAMS br br Who are you dear Stranger? br You have entered my world of dreams, br And touched my sad heart within, br Bringing happiness and joy all br around; br For you have entered quietly, br without a sound! br My world is once again filled, br With radiant colors and sweet flowers - br Wafting their perfume, br And coloring my world of dreams, br With radiant hues! br br Who are you Stranger? br You have walked right in, - br Into my world of dreams! br Making me doubt, whether I am br asleep or awake! br For you have stolen my heart - br silently away, without a sound! br Like the butterfly sucking the sweet br nectar from the flowers, br And like the unseen breeze of Spring, br Making the leaves and branches - br To gently dance and sway, - br And making me swing! br br Am I dreaming while awake, br Or am I dreaming while asleep? br All the same; - br Stay my dear Intruder, for my br sake! br Stay and tarry a while; br Our life is evanescent, br And like the insubstantial world br of my dreams, - br Takes wing, and gently flies! -Raj Nandy, New Delhibr br RAJ NANDYbr br
