A magical tour | Story | Turning a curse into a blessing | Poem

I got a curse
A witch appeared
And made me small

When I was wandering
A big ant hauled me
to an ant's colony

A pile of rice, chunks of meats
Tons of sugar pieces and shelves of sweets,
I discerned there

Hoarding their nutritious hay
Working 24/7 a day
They never got tired

Sitting on the back of an ant
I eloped the colony and
Stepped into a garden enchanting

With colorful hues around
Every plants wore a crown
Oh, the divine fragrance, couldn't apprise

Enticed by the orange flowers
I embraced one and slept for hours
Floated in a heavenly dream

When I opened my eyes
I was flying to my surprise
Bewildered me, cried

Realised I was anchored on a butterfly
My euphoria she amplified
Flying along with her, I adored the world

When she met her mate fair
Performed divine dance in the air
And dropped me in the land wild

Exhausted me, slept on a brown wood
Oh ho! It's not a wood but a dry leaf
Which floated when zephyr kissed him

Clutching the leaf's petiole
I was flying like a golden oriole
Until the leaf fell down into a fall

Glided the cascading falls
Like riding on water coaster
I outreached the jubilant river

Flowing along with the river pure
Espied her esteemed generous life
My mental and physical illness got cured

Through the treasured estuary
Mingled with the sea finally
Calm and relaxed my soul was

Pondering the magical ride
Relished on the shore long
Until tugged by a tall tide

Diving deep into the sea
Glimpsed colorful trees
Yes, the coral reefs

Emerged there a mermaid
I was really afraid
But she caressed me gracefully

I started penning verses
About my retained curse
"Is this even a curse" She grinned and disappeared

"Oh! Yes! It's not a curse, a blessing actually"I shouted;
On seeing me relishing the curse, the witch chagrined
Detonated the witch, my positivity

And my curse turned into a blessing already...
