The Missed Train

Date-4 NaPoWriMo-2020

Prompt: Dreams

Dreams are subconscious wants
You miss the train and dreams haunt
Many dreams turn into nightmares
Bringing along a plethora of regrets.


I dream about childhood days
Meeting bohemian world down the memory lanes
A cluster of images adding to the barriers
In the milieu, I see hazy disasters.


In dreams, buddies meet, dine and laugh away blues
Sharing anecdotes of a time of careless hues
Memories of mangoes, berries, birds, and butterflies
Dreaming under a banyan tree, soaking a carefree life.


Dreams of books shared, movies watched
Sports played and legs pulled
Bruised knees and altered egos
Many images of nostalgia in a bioscope,


Alas, reality! Time cannot make up for the lost wheel
What we live and breathe is a movie reel
One cannot change the pace of destiny
Dreams or no dreams, life is an ongoing journey.
