We are all dreamers as children
innocent, natural, spontaneous
till the 'knowledgeable' adults interfere
tell us what we can dream about, how much
and also advise to dream 'realistically'
So many are the rules, regulations
in day to day matters and living itself !
why put them, rules even on dreaming?
Dreaming can take one to great heights
unimaginable, to a mediocre mind
Dream, dream, dream
exhorted our people's president, Kalam of India
passionate dreams do not happen when asleep
they just don't let you sleep, said the noble soul
If dreams were discouraged
many wouldn't have reached where they did
unleash your potential, be a dreamer
and remember to not only dream
but be the one who just can't..
doesn't stop dreaming...
NB: I recited this poem at the 7th Dignagar International online poetry meet on 19th December 2021
Very honest attempt and reading it is an ultimate joy for me!

DeleteSometimes good things need to be repeated again and again and always good things, said in a simple manner stays rather than verbal rhetoric. The poem reads like written by someone who has kept the child alive in heart, who is a dreamer by self.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot! I am so happy to receive this feedback as simplicity of writing is my style and this is a big acknowledgement. It made my day!
DeleteWish we had more dreamers like APJ who could pass on the magic of dreaming to the future generation.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your thoughts! Dr Kalam has done his bit.Now,many brilliant people of his caliber perhaps may not be necessary to spread the message.Adults like us can pass on the message to youngsters. More importantly, we can check ourselves from dissuading them from dreaming.
DeleteWonderful!
