A Dreaming Child Poem by kanav justa

A Dreaming Child

Rating: 5.0


if veracity stings dreams are delight,
i meet those dreams in the dawning night

where memories old, , too old too old
in a coffer stored, never were sold

in dreams I fall, in dreams I rise
in dreams like child I scream and cry

i see those things what I left behind
back in time, where hearts were kind

like a gust of wind in dreams I am wild
in sleep I am still a dreaming child

where memories old, too old too old
we had a silken skin and a heart of gold

in the dead of the night when away lies sun
i am a noble man when my eyes are shun

but things they change when I awake
those mortal dreams, like glasses break

like breeze now I blow so calm and mild
i wonder where’s that dreaming child

I wonder too Kanav on the same lines...near perfect couplet-composition, so meaningful!

Children must grow dreaming And the grown ups should follow suit.. It is on the right track that you position your thoughts, Kanav.

That dreaming child is a timeless, ageless being, still resides in you...it's he who has composed this poem, it's he who dares to dream, it's he who is very talented guy! good work!

Today I am 89 and here I sit, reading a very beautiful poem and thinking of all the water that has gone over the dam. An excellant write from one so young, or for any age-10 in my book

Dreams are a doorway which often opens straight into an unforeseen wonderland. A lovely poem Kanav, which makes me long for a beautiful dream. May this dream of mine at least come true!

......dreaming child within us is really lost...call it a result of time or sign of development, we've lost the capacity to dream........and so have lost our innocence.....great write Kanav
