It is Here…
When I saw it, it shone from far,
Unreachable, I thought that star,
But with each step, it felt more dear,
The dream I saw, it now feels near.
The world around, I did not forget,
But on that star, my eyes were set,
A purpose found, soon lost was fear,
The dream I saw, it now feels near.
A race to reach first, it had seemed,
Some went soon, yet for me it gleamed,
It was meant for me, that was clear,
The dream I saw, it now feels near.
To take the chance, the time is now,
Nourished the dream, with lots of love,
The words now shine, to me they near,
The dream I saw, it now feels here.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Whistles!!! Such a fantastic depiction here of merging reality with dreams Vinay 😀 especially love images of the stars shining its light upon us and guiding us towards our purpose. Beautifully penned. Thank you so much for participating at Prompt Nights and for your constant love and support 😀
Lots of love,
Sanaa

Absolutely delightful Vinay, I agree the dream and the journey we do need to cling to as together they give us hope of a better life…
Yes, Michael. 🙂 Only looking at the journey or only looking at the dream, it’ll make us miss the other. And that’s missing a lot. 😀 Glad you found it delightful!
Lovely..we all want our dreams to turn into realities and hope is one way to keep our dreams alive 🙂

I hope for that as well, Geets. 🙂 Thank you.
The hope of dreams being possible- lovely
Thank you, debi. I believe that they can be possible.
The refrain works like a tug on my reader’s heart. I’m watching with the speaking, feeling the dream come near and near and near… until it’s a reality. And that is wonderful!
Yes. 🙂 Reading it after, I felt that tug too. I liked the belief and the transition. Thanks very much, Magaly.
Love the words and the repetition! It isn’t about reaching there first, it’s just about us and our achievement. A perfect depiction! 😀
(Dashy recently posted…What I cherish #CBF16)
