What if you slept ...

What if you slept
And what if
In your sleep
You dreamed
And what if
In your dream
You went to heaven
And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower
And what if
When you awoke
You had that flower in you hand
Ah, what then?

Notes

This is widely believed to be the work of Coleridge but no publication dates or details are yet known

    What if?

    The poet has a great imagination power and can imagine a wonderful fantasy, like some very beautiful dream coming true. Miracles are not confined to a certain age, can happen anywhere, any time. Normally, seeing is believing but some times when the imagination is too strong, believing is seeing and then believing becomes more strong. After reciting this poem so many times,
    I slept
    And in my sleep
    I dreamed …
    And In my dream
    I went to heaven
    And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower
    And When I awoke
    I had that flower in my hand
    Ah, it happened.
    So I believe it's a divine poem and a beautiful dream and a holy imagination by this great poet.
