CASTLE OF DREAMS


POEM

In the dark alleys of life
what would happen when
a person with normal vision and
a visually challenged person
are trapped?
Both the visually challenged person
and a person with normal vision
would evolve into two sides of the same coin.
What would happen
when the train of life enters a long tunnel?
When a train enters a long tunnel
the passengers hope for a light at the
end of the tunnel.
Until the train emerges out of darkness the passengers
who suffered kind of suffocation and heave a sigh of relief.
What would be the dreams of parents
whenever they mull about
the future of their children?
No doubt they would hope to
see their children building a bright future.
What would happen if their
train of life derails  by which
resulting in the collapse of their train of life?
The train would collapse and their
parents’ castle of  dreams
would crash down into a  heap of dust.
What would you feel
while on your way to
the railway station to catch the train when
a child in her shining costume
reminding one of an angel,
gifts you  a red rose and wish you:
‘Good morning uncle, today
is my birthday’
looking into her innocent eyes
and attractive smiles, caressing her chubby cheeks
you feel like you are being
elevated to a world of  indefinite delight…..
‘Many many happy returns of the day baby,’
‘thanks, my child
uncle feels elated……..’’
Her dad whom
you  are familiar with
might be glancing at you
from a distance of a few feets

with a broad smile…..
