There are those far from real.
But in our minds, they thrive, they live.
When we sleep, they are within our reach.
Once we are awake, in flicker they vanish.
There are also those elusive
Much as we hold them, they get lost.
Tie them with chain and they will choke!
Loosen the grip and they break loose.
Dreams take us high; some take us down.
Others impair and make us dumb.
But for the naught dreams are the force
To live, to breath, to exist.
How strong can a person be?
In the midst of oddity
In cruelty and betrayal
In the world where truth
Is hidden, evaded incessantly.
How strong can a person be?
Alone in darkness
Muted in silence
Muddled with hypocrisy
Drowned in temerity.
How strong can a person be?
When water flows freely
Gushing in deadens face
Gasping for breath, yelling
Where is peace, equality?
How strong can a person be?
Where only hope relies in Thee
At blinking stars and shining moon
To majestic rays seeping at dawn
And to flowers that bloom.
How strong can a person be?
When folded knees shake
And clasped hands moistened
With stiffened muscles
Heavy feet lift not a single step.
How strong can a person be?
An unanswered question
Like a myth, truth is unknown
How strong can a person be?
Relatively personal, no one can see.
I fly above the sky
Go beyond the eyesight
I sway and glide with the wind
And float among the clouds.
I cut through the blinding lights
Hurdle the searing heat
Slither along the bladed rays
And adeptly soar to life.
You close your eyes.
You drown in darkness.
In deep pit you fall
With a thug, you landed.
The silence of night deafens.
From afar a faint sound swell
Like a ticking bomb it flickers
Some silent wishes it foretells.
Crawling you tried to rise.
Gasping for air, breathing
Hands shaking, knees weakening.
The broken dream comes drifting.
Vague figures come to form
Under the tint of the moonlight
Some slanting, some circling
Others bending, others soaring.
Aghast, you peek around
Looking for help to understand
Hallucinating, or am I dreaming?
Distorted figures conjure.
Simply Eccentric
