'Dream World' Poem by Pushpinder Kaur

Dream World

Every day is ‘Mothers day' for me-
said my darling son.
Listening to his voice was invigorating, resuscitating, replenishing
to my heart's run.

'Live in the Reality,
Not a Dream World, Mom! '
Outpoured his advice, feeling
me down on Skype, last night.

'What is this ‘Dream World' Son? '
Do you call my world ‘that'?
A world, that I have learnt
to live in
strongly, positively, productively?
With you, and your siblings gone-
finding your own life,
while my blessing flows towards
you all
As I breathe?

Or,
The world, that I have
Created
On memories?

Son,
Life is an enigma,
A paradox…
Blurring the boundaries between
Reality and the Dream World!
