The Other World

fiction...imaginative

                             The Other World

 

There is this world which is full of struggle

This world which is full of strange humans,

This world that is in the hands of gadgets

This world people call the world of reality.

 

In this world there is a certain fear somewhere

A fear of getting crushed in the crowd of strangers,

A fear of meeting people who cannot be predicted

And the fear of losing ourselves in the maze that lies ahead.

 

In this world there is a certain doubt somewhere

A doubt about meeting the right kind of people,

A doubt about taking the right decisions for ourselves

And also there is a doubt about achieving our goals.

 

In this world there is a certain joy somewhere

A joy that we get by doing something good,

A joy that we get by making people happy

And the joy we get my living the life that we want.

 

 

In this world there is a certain sorrow somewhere

A sorrow felt when we lose someone very dear,

A sorrow felt when we lose faith in our aims in life

And the sorrow that is felt when we lose the battle lying ahead.

 

In this world there is a certain hope somewhere

A hope of succeeding in our strenuous attempts,

A hope of achieving the goals that we have set

And the hopes of making our dreams come true.

 

And then there is the other world, that’s hidden

The world where there is a mixture of everything,

The world where we love to see ourselves from within

The world people call as the world of dreams.

 

In that world there is nothing in our control

Yet there is everything that we want to see,

There is fear, doubt, joy, sorrow and hope

Everything perfectly blended as we desire.

 

 

This other world has an alluring charm

This other world controls our thoughts,

This other world, though is a virtual one

Yet, it is the world we wish to be in.

 

This other world is the world of happiness

This other world is the world of fantasy,

This other world is the world of our wishes

And this other world is our world of dreams.
