Unreachable Dreams Poem by Anindita Bose

I am that dream which you
have left behind since you
thought some dreams are
unreachable

but I remained in your mind
and grew up with days and
nights

you walked towards other
dreams and forgot about me
yet I stayed back in depths
of your essence

layers of life passed through
you and I witnessed them all

I waited for another time
when you would come back
and accept that once a dream
is conceived, it cannot die

I shall keep waiting till you
look back when perhaps your
hairs will turn silver
To
and new dreams will mean
nothing but shadows of your
own past

I will remain, silently floating
towards you to hold your
imagination again and be
with you forever...
