An honest thought,
A heartfelt desire,
An insatiable longing for something,
(at times against the common norms)
And the heart sinks with realization…..
The magnum opus dreams fall as fast as they had risen.
Reality strikes hard.
Thousands of doubts flood the brain
Leaving no scope for anything to flourish .
The tug of war between fact and fiction,
Right and wrong, wanting and getting,
Takes a heavy toll.
All the warnings and forebodings,
predictions and snide remarks
elbow their way to the forefront
canopying even the slightest possibility
of going ahead and metamorphosing one’s dream
into reality.
Just as this rendezvous with the feelings
threatens never to end,
a surreal warmth fills the body
pushing all the negative emotions
into oblivion.
It caresses the soul
and teaches it to dream again.
It acts like the guiding light,
the voice of the angel
rekindling the flame of optimism
that had been mercilessly extinguished.
It doesnot make any promises,
It does not guarantee anything for sure,
All it ensures is peace of mind.
It calls itself ‘HOPE’.
