If I can hold on well to that haven— <br />To that sweet truth if but for a moment, <br />Ne’er mind, it could stand no test of reason— <br />Ah, day dreaming—dresst in dappled raiment. <br />Let me think tall, think big though a bit naïve, <br />Let my imagination space-time bend, <br />Let it wisdom’s reality transcend, <br />Is not it delusion that man’s alive? <br /> <br />This dream within a dream, Nature’s sole gift <br />To mankind— mind wandering to escape, <br />Musing, unyielding world falling in shape— <br />Let it my struggling spirit uplift. <br /> For, none does ever know the truth real <br /> Betwixt the world of dreams, one surreal! <br />_____________________________________________________ <br /> - Sonnets | 11.08.07 |<br /><br />Aniruddha Pathak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/all-i-want-is-to-dream/
