A Shaft of Ray

I went through a time travel,
To the past and; the idyllic world;
Where everything is"Utopian".

To a world of love and promise,
My world was strewn with roses alone,
I was mesmerised and ecstatic.

Forgot myself and the present world disappeared.
day-in-day-out I was ringed with illusions.
Smoky world of illusions.

But one fine day a shaft of light'
broke into the forbidden ring.
And my bubble of illusions burst.
I found myself in the world of
Reality-responsibility and Values.

I wept-n-wept like 'Caliban', to Dream again,
I was like 'Jack' of the Third Level, searching for the ultimate.
A shadow of 'Professor Gaitonde'.

Now grounded back into the prosaic world.
Only reality no magic.
A faint Ray of Hope-
Will I have a fleet into fancy again.
