Day-14 OctPoWriMo-2015
I stood on
the bridge
Thinking of
a time
A time
seeped in memories.
And then…
An image
emerged from the shadows
An image
from the past life
Questioning,
prodding
About all
those dreams
Which were a
dreamer’s treasures.
There was a knight
in shining armor
Full of
chivalrous airs
Sweeping her
off her feet
Taking her
to an altar
Laden with
stars in her eyes
A dream of
blissful charms…
And now…
The image changes its shape
Showcasing the myriad hues
Of a dreamer's journey
In the lines of its face.
The dreams
have touched
Too many
people in its fold
They have
become miles stones.
Mile stones
of understanding
Growing and maturing
a hundred times
Taking life
and its blessings in its stride.
Reminding,
that yesterdays
And tomorrows
dreams connect
A thin thread
of hope and faith
In the realm of present.
Love this part :
