DREAMS OF OUR LIVES- Athira Lakshmi

 

Once when I was a five year old 

along with kids went to my playschool.  

There heard a new word being told 

which I've never heard yet but felt cool. 


I came back home and told mom,

"today teacher told me to speak about dreams,

but I didn't knew what it mean so I kept mum"

and I looked into her hands which was holding cream.


Mom told me" dreams are those 

which makes our lives much brighter."

From there I went to see my goose

and there got to see my elder brother.

 

"What are dreams? I asked,

"dreams are wings that inspire you to fly" 

pointing to a flying goose he replied. 

From behind I  heard an uncle calling out chai.


I ran to him and asked him the same 

In between lighting up fire he told

"dreams are like spark that generate same"

pointing to the fire that got lit up on sticks that seems old.


At night I asked my dad "what's dream?"

and he told "dreams are like moon that brightens up the darker sky".

Before sleeping, I asked  nanny  "What is dream? "

"dreams are the soulmates of life which inspire you to live every moment"


I got a lot of explanations and realized that

dreams are like lake ,it won't stop, it keeps on flowing.

But today as an adult I realized 

dreams are guide to the destination of our life.
