(d) Study the following poem and complete the activitiy that follows.

In this garden of dreams, the sole moon shines,
The baby stars dance with ease like pines.
Flowers whisper and their petals gleam,
In the night’s embrace, they tell their dreams.

The moon, a sole soul in the sky,
Casts its glow upon the earth, like a lullaby.
All the stars twinkle, just like a diamond in the sky,
Their celestial lights paint the serene heaven.

As gently as it could, the wind whispers secrets untold,
To every rustling leaf and branch,
one secret followed by the other unfolds.
The dream is carried away to places, and there it roams free,
As the wind continues to sing across the endless sea.

Oh! Look at that beautiful sky, its tapestry so grand,
Its constellation was created by a masterful hand.
Where each star has a story, that can be made into a song,
In the symphony of the night, where dreams belong.

So let’s wander, in this magical land,
Where stars are born from mere dreams, mere wishes expand.
Even in the darkest of the nights, truth is always found,
Where in the whispers of the stars, dreams abound.
