Dream a little more...

Look around you, look at others, your family, friends, roommates, etc.. When was the last time you looked in the mirror and looked beyond the clothes.. and peered into those stony eyes? Do you see yourselves with the battle wounds.? We in this country and especially our generation fight a battle almost everyday. Constantly fighting in life for something that we believe should be worth achieving and will make our life a little better. Be it for the toy that you too wanted when you were 5, The new bicycle you wanted when you were 10, The video game you looked with gleaming eyes at your neighbours place. All the things you wanted when your were a teen... the smile of your first crush. The girl or boy whom your thought would just look your way once,... ready to fight the world for one smile. :) or that bike that you wished you had. During your midlife you realize that maybe having a partner would ease the battle.. and get married. Later in life, you battle maybe for getting the best out of your kids and fight for giving the best to them. Life comes a complete circle and we still keep battling to live a life that you always dreamt of having while you were asleep. You wake up and get ready for the battles to live your dream..and while we are fighting and losing...and again fighting... its the dream's that keep you alive and drive you to keep fighting after every failure.. after every hurt...its the sleep that heals..its the dream that rebuilds...

Let me sleep ma, its been a long night

All night tiill the wee hours, I've held on to fight.

Again i will remind myself to dream in my sleep,

Of the incomplete dreams, that time couldnt keep.

The midnight oil is burning in my eyes

I have been proving them but to be not lies.

The night is yet to set, let me sleep a little more.

The pain of not reaching there, my body still sore.

Those incomplete dreams that I were unable to realize

I want to gaze at them beneath my closed eyes.

Let me once more ressurrect them in my sleep.

Let the cuts of failure heal before they run deep.

Let me sleep ma, Its been a lonely night.

All night till the wee hours ive held on to fight.

fighting the fear that i indeed may loose again.

I am not going to hide my valiant fear in vain.

Beneath these closed eyes Those seeds i will sow.

Blooming those flowers swaying in the wind that blows.

My mind wants to dream of the perfect dream.

To the world however wastefull it may seem.

So Till the dawn let me dream it again tonight

Before as feared, somehow something cuts my kite.

And i run again to fetch the free kite that sways

So that atleast the fathomable memory stays.

The night is yet to set, let me sleep a little more,

Untill tommorow's dawn warms me to the core.

The sun will rise and give me the strength,

To chase my dreams till the end of my breath.

And tired or smiling however i return to my bed.

Let me sleep longer again so that the dreams never shed.

The dreams will never shed............................
