Dream

My mind is chaperoned as I dream,

By the creams, screams – realm of my dream.

It emerges gradually,

Casting a clear image – my dream…

I’ve had it for long now,

Stretching back to childhood,

Now a big part of me.

Every minute, every day

In my mind dream won’t part

Whenever I pick a pen-

My dream comes to mind,

Soon reflecting on the blank page,

Which otherwise look scary,

Thirsty to tell a story.

The picture is clear now,

Vivid reality has dawned

And to realize my dream,

First I need to wake up from the dream

Replace it with reality; my blue print

To engineer the path to the dream

I’ve slept for long now,

And have dreamt it all

Time to make it real.
