On this earth
Since beginning
of man
Countless dreams
have died
Or, rather
been strangled to death
in mind’s
cool alertness;
When hopes weigh
more
than closure
The heart
reflects
Dying a
little everyday
Realizes,
Destiny’s
ultimate!
Limping mind
Waits for
the oozing to stop
A newly sown
hope
Resurfaces
Reasons
Contemplates
Coughs up
fire
Seals the
storm-
A life finds a new foothold
Welding all
reasons...

Excellent, Panchali. So true that man has always had dreams, not all of them brought to fruition; but when ONE dies there is another that is born. We, as humans, keep finding a new foothold to propel forward, don't we? And we do. Thank goodness for our dreams!
