DREAMS AND REALITY
For my childhood friends

We were much younger and happier
Life was us and the precious moments we shared
Relaxing, sipping cocktails on time’s rendezvous
Inwardly vowing to ourselves to always carry each other
And forever wear those precious moments in our hearts
No matter the direction the waves of life threw us
Oh memories, sweet memories…

Little knowledge, we were humoring time and life
We, our dreams & hopes, all subjects to time and life
Nothing near our imagination lies ahead
There will be basking in the sun
But the storm will come hard afterwards
You & I bashed against the rocks of life
And only the strong among us will survive

Now time has danced far away
And you & I left here, owning the moment
The sun had gone under the shade
The moon forcefully drawn upon us
It brightens the path ahead
And yet again darkens it

It had put some of us to sleep
While locked in fierce tussle with others trying to keep awake
Memories slowly fading away
Our hands now loosely holding each other
If not entirely slipped already

Connection, the desire to keep our vows nags our souls
Yet life disapproved of it
It kept its fortress tall against us
We fight to no avail to break out
To connect, to draw strength & life from each other
Yet only able to make holes
Holes through which we peep at each other
