Improbable Dreams

How successful is the soul in its desire to roam the Elysian world

The burdens may not allow the mind to float worry-free even in dreams

Profound echoes have waned too, and the belief of a paradise deeply missed

Leaden wings uninspired by the carefree winds 

It’s an altered image of a wilderness presented as a paradise

Pulled out magically from a deep abyss where they were refashioned 

Unethical slumber takes the soul through a detour and to unexpected misery

There are no stars to guide the journey towards a safer world

Elysian dreams have changed and only spoken in a brief poetic way

Stalactite dreams warn the sleep of escaping the disturbing reality

A brighter morning may not be enough to forget the uninspiring slumber
