Not only a Dream

Evening strolls in reassuringly to comfort a tough day

Waiting for the night for tough thoughts to arise and disappear

When the day has been stretched too far

There are no limitations to the woes misshaping the dreams

Open eyes seem to blur with such rapid movement

Only the twilight caress and silent night can soothe heavy eyelids

Seeking to gaze through eternity while talking to the stars

Troubled vision shall be taken away by the cosmic angels

Still hopeful for the closed door to open

Prayers are profound and even ardent murmurs are soulful

Nothing can interrupt the voice within

The night’s pledge is enough to guide the soul towards hope

Look! The Divine eyes open to fulfill the promises

It’s not a dream and reality can transform the banalities

Propitious darkness it is while it is time to celebrate
