SUJATA DASH

 

When Dreams Fruition 

Life takes an elegant turn

Becomes an adorable sojourn

When fantasies simmer in the cauldron of hope 

core soars like an ecstatic parachute  

Dreams corsage under the bountiful sun 

When the splendid pair of longing and craving

Join hands to get something

Soul of intent acts as facilitator

Smoothens the process of realization of dreams

Existence exults in ecstasy, takes a joy ride

When ardent wishes takeoff 

Desires bloom in myriad hues

All my palpable and distant dreams fruition

I hop and jump, perch in seventh heaven 

When ideas conceived in subconscious 

Yield pined results, I close my eyes 

Express my obeisance and gratefulness to God

For having granted my ardor and passion.

My Companion

In the womb of dream

All unfulfilled desires find berth

Setting into motion the glimmer of hope

Despite unfriendly hazy roads

In the tiny repertoire of dream

A fervent wish takes birth

Guides soul's purpose like a polestar 

Beaconing future course of action

I flash a small tentative smile

to boost my sagging morale

and continue with the hazardous path

embracing a stoic disposition

Seasons come and leave of own volition

be it nip of winter, harsh summer

or the mellow of autumn 

crooning some aubade notes

I march ahead with grit and candor

for, dream remains my companion all along

Embracing life's iridescent colors

I dare barrel my way 

through tempestuous and torrid patches

to actualize dream and prove own mettle 

shoving off fear of thunder claps.
