The Food Of Life ( Week 30 Theme: Dream)

Dreaming about the big dream while wakeful slumber

Dazes you out of your comfort, like a cool cucumber –

You realize that you’ve grown old, but age’s just a number

You dream about bygone days and wish for a heady encounter.

There was a time when the dreamy-eyed look was the craze,

Stark reality made that vanish through a purple haze

“Now you can dream”, say others when the car’s into the garage –

To realize a long-cherished dream is worth a toil across a mirage.

As soon as we sleep, the dream world envelops us –

Night turns into a fantasy, as the clock gallops,

We turn to elves, inhabiting a land far away from kitchen mops

This world shatters with the dawn as soon as the toaster pops.

A dream-like reality is something we all wish for –

Wish fulfilment has that warmth equalled by soups of Knorr,

Dreams take us to a neverland – an unknown coast – offshore

Without dreams, we’d fail as humans, so they’re hard to ignore.

So, let us go then you and I,

Will the evening be spread against the sky?
