DREAMS

A poem which tries to ask why our dreams seem impossible to happen

DREAMS

Everybody has a dream

We keep it alive at night

But doubt it in light

Do we only become optimistic when lights are dim?

 

Everybody has a dream

From a distance we fight

On the battle field we lose might

Is it only when we are far do we become strong?

 

Everybody has a dream

On  leaflets we write

On desk we fail to  rewrite

Do we forget to take our writing sticks along?

 

Everybody has a dream

in mind's eye we see it fly like a kite

On world's stage we lose sight

Do we only see when It is fictitious like a film?

Author's Note

Keep your dreams alive

Yes, how insightful and skillfully written. You have touched, with your probing pen, the essence for the reason of dreams deferred. You have found, in your suave expose, the compatriots of procrastination and fear. I love dreams and dreaming. I think we only become optimistic when lights are dim because it's easier to "live" the dream then. But then, that's not really living it is it? For living a dream means to be acquainted with the sweat and tears of bringing it to pass.
