The Ethereal Girl

Slept on clouds,

A tapestry of snow.

She fell from the heaven's gates

Through the sky,

Landing on a floating forest

With magical trees

All around her.

She gazed up at the shining stars,

Her friend from her sweet home.

A fraction of a second later,

Droplets of rain started pouring.

Suddenly, she saw her friend

Appear in the forest and whisper:

WAKE UP, WAKE UP, IT'S JUST A DREAM."
