My Life - A Dream

When alone be it in crowd or in a room 
My Mind asks lots of Questions 
"Isn't the Life we live just a dream"
Be it of the moment just passed or of the moment knocking on the door
Sometimes our dreams ruled by mind who says "I want to be this & that"
& Sometimes our heart imagines & wants "golden moments back"
People enter & quit our dream leaving behind their memoirs
We move forward to achieve "this & that" to start a new story a new life
asking a little question "Is life a Dream?"

Past & Future are nothing but our hidden Dreams
"I" living in Present want to live in those dreams
& forget that our "Present has also been now included in our Past"

People Come & go to & fro
Frens Change Peoples change
One minute & Life Changes
"Isn't the Life just a Dream?"

We Lose our Loved ones 
We move away from them
only left are their " Words , the smile , the Joys , the griefs , the moments " we shared with them all fetches somewhere deep in our heart which we all always dream of
A Dream to be with them
a Dream to enjoy those moments again 
A dream to get them back

Sometimes my Mind asks
"Isn't this Life a Dream we are Dreaming into we are leaving for"
A Dream Full of Sorrows
A Dream full of Joy 
A Dream full of EXcitement 
A Dream full of Adventure
all running at a fast pace before we withhold it
& we are dreaming it continously but someday when we will wake up
Someday when our dream will be broken with Eyes Open 
We will have nothing to say & dream more
except asking the GOD 
"Was that a Dream"
A Lovely Dream - A Dream of Life we are in.

my first blog

I feel nervous about sitting idle and not doing anything. Having said that, there are times you can't do much but to stay at home and hope www will help with ways to mitigate that.

Having encountered the situation, I'm resorting to "blogs"; which many flaut shamelessly to pretend being thought-ful and creative. I don't want to be left alone- of-course nobody does-:)
