Dreams Poem by Elizabeth Kurian

Dream if you must, but only while asleep!
When you awake from your disturbed slumber
You'll realize that what you thought you saw
Was only a figment of your imagination,
Which you do not expect to come true.

But if you dream in broad day-light,
There seems to be no clear division
Between fact and fantasy;
No awareness whether you are awake
Or lost in day dreams;
Then reconciliation with bitter reality
May itself continue to remain a dream.
