DREAMS…

 

‘DREAMS’ are plants that grow into trees

That shelter you in the long journey…

‘DREAMS’ are strong birds

That takes you to the heights of the sky…

‘DREAMS’ are the sparks

That put shine into your eyes…

Yet,

The same ‘DREAMS’ could be,

The tree that would uproot your house;

The heights from where you might have death fall;

The sparks that would turn into burning flames;

 

Some ‘DREAMS’ are to be lived;

Some ‘DREAMS’ are to be strived;

Some ‘DREAMS’ are to be chased;

Some ‘DREAMS’ are to be yearned;

Some ‘DREAMS’ are to be fancied;

Some ‘DREAMS’ are just to be dreamt;

And yet,

Some other ‘DREAMS’ are to be let go

So that, you don’t get trapped in their roots;

So that, you don’t shatter into unmendable pieces;

So that, you don’t burn your soul in it;

So that, you are not sucked off the last ounce of spirit…

 

Will it not be cowardice to let go of the DREAM?

The DREAM that you have nurtured with

LOVE

PASSION

DETERMINATION

SACRIFICES…

No, you are no coward to let go

Because it needs even more courage to dream anew;

Because letting go is accepting change;

Because it is the willingness to nurture another ‘DREAM’ with

LOVE

PASSION

DETERMINATION

SACRIFICES…

 

So, some dreams are meant to let go

Because I would rather let them remain as ‘DREAMS’ than become ‘nightmares’…

Because as long as ‘DREAMS’ are ‘DREAMS’ they can be nurtured by anyone;

Because dreams are to live in and not be consumed by;

Because dreams are meant to bring joy;

Because no dreams are worth trading with your soul;

As long as you are alive, your spirit is alive,

Countless dreams can be dreamt, fancied, longed and lived…
