A Reverie!

I lay asleep,

And things went on...

By the time I woke,

The time was gone!

I thought God will do everyone's good,

And be fair to his child...

But I went rushing in tears to him,

When the final day arrived.

“I did none's harm and stole not a thing,

That I was gentle by nature and did no sin,

So, why still you ranked me last?

And why you overlooked my glorious past?”

Strange! God didn't smile looking at me...

Thought I was the most lovable child held he,

And then he spoke with an eye on me

“You did nothing to be you ever wanted to be”!!!

Perplexed, I stared...

His throat, he cleared...

“You lived on a past that died years back ,

And buried your dreams alive stack by stack...

For you were a coward who never dared a thing,

Child, harming and stealing are not alone sins.”

“My love for you never faded,

Until  your dreams for your fears ’re traded...

Every night, some magic, I hid inside the box(mind),

That you never opened in fear of some loss”

I felt my throat being gripped so tight...

I cried for help to cease my plight...

My own ululation shook me from sleep,

And for so long, I recognized, I had been so asleep !

And, realized that god keeps magic in everyone’s mind,

And that for the first time I had opened mine,

And... Unleashed a reverie of this kind...

Which, When I understood, felt so fine!

And so flashed all my fears at once,

All the firm grasps and inhibiting ties,

That how blindly I looked at everything,

When it was right before my eyes.

Awakened anew, as I was...

Could listen, my dreams calling out for me,

And then, I became without a pause,

All that I ever wanted to be !!!
