was it only in my dreams?

i was lying in bed, waiting for sleep to come. when there was a flash of an image in my mind. a picture of leaves on a tree, after a rain in the early morning sunshine.. with droplets on the leaves falling hesitantly as wind blows at them.. it was like an HD image. i dunno, maybe I've seen them on tv as a kid, a close up shot or something. i asked myself too, or was it only in my dreams when i was younger? but for some reason, it chose to resurface into my conscious mind this very afternoon. i scrambled to sit up, grabbed my laptop and fought hard to capture the image into words, as it was both beautiful and calming, and this is what i came up with:


was it only in my dreams?
the image of the leaves the color of fresh green
the soft light  of the early morning sun
reflected upon dew from last nite's rain
and the droplet of water falling  with a spark
..ever so hesitantly
as the wind softly blows
was it... only in my dreams?


if the words fail to conjure the image i had in my mind. i found a picture nearest to it. not quite the exact image, but close.
minutes later: oh well, it's a wallpaper and i tried resizing it several times but i still can't upload  the pic. will edit. dang! it's almost 2! i cannot be late again tonite. oyasumi-nasai! @_@
