Inspiration from "The Best Things In Life" by Ng Shi Hui.

It's a sweet silent night,
As I take my first step out of that rosewood-made door.
Starring up into the bright starry sky,
The stars seem to be blinking to me,
As many thoughts run through my mind....

I walk over by the garden bench,
The old wooden bench left over all these year
With a few cobwebs here and there, and thin, pale-coloured vines,
Curling all around.

Sniffing and smelling the sweet and pleasant-scenting flowers,
Yellow daffodils, red roses, and pink tipped-tulips....
A turn and I see a piece of beautiful artwork,making me wonder if I'm in dreamland...
A crystal and marble made fountain, decorated with chips of diamond and glass,
And as the teardrop-shaped water droplets splash about, it seems as if I'm watching dancing ice..
A royal scene indeed, as the centerpiece of the garden.

Deeper shall I walk into this garden of mysteries, palace of secrets, road with no endings.
Marble white arches, polished to shine,
With vines of green climbing and flowers of white.
Lush green bushes and hedges of evergreen.
And poking out the blue-green and mint-coloured leaves,
Are white tipped flowers, or yellow and red petals.

And as I look afar into the distance,
I see a dark, blood-coloured ball, orange and pale yellow at the edges,
Rising above the icy white peaks of the lush green mountains.
And in the distance, a bird-calling can be heard,
And soon the source comes into sight,
A bright red-breasted robin,
Sweetly singing a soft melody in the pale blue sky...

And soon, I see statues made of marble, gold, silver and bronze,
With rubies, diamonds, crystals, emeralds, sapphires and every precious jewel you could think of,
Along with lacy intricate designs and patterns decorating the bases and statues,
And suddenly,
As I stop in surprise, and sit up in bed, I realize, I was in wonderland, and it was all just a dream.
