! Journey

Rating: 2.8


Quest of dreams in old tale,
Of towering ideals once heard,
Lost in the ceaseless time travel,
Dreams turning stale and cold,
Void as a beggars bowl;

Searching in desert sand dunes,
Tired thirsty and humdrum,
The pebbles of my lost dream,
Under the scorching heat and sun,
Lost in the harrowing life's stream;

Bound by the desire cage,
Sighting water as a haze,
Like an oasis in a desert range,
Approaching near to find a mirage,
Perseverance turning to rage,
Digging desert of desire under a blaze,

Lost in the darkness of moonlit night,
Searching the lost dream figment,
In the dusky dungeons like a Bat,
Darkness spreads nothing to sight,
Igniting moon makes illusion brighter,
Disappearing with clouds moving faster;

Stranded in the faraway deep blue sea,
Searching the dusky evading dreams,
With sun and blowing breeze,
With water up to the neck and brim,
Sighting shelter on a faraway shore,
Nearer I go finding nothing more;

Sometimes in life dreams do seem lost, however in such moments an individual should try to remember the brighter memories and continue to live on life. Dreams are never lost until one gives up. I liked the usage of words in this poem of yours.

Dream needs no reason, yet a lost dream do hurt Each line is very impressively framed The reader is brought down to feel the lost state. Enjoyed the word flow. Thank you.
