Winged Pleasures<\/strong><\/h4>

I noticed a huge-winged bird<\/p>

flying high in the sky<\/p>

regardless of the happenings below<\/p>

engrossed in unalloyed pleasures<\/p>

of the ethereal world,<\/p>

a world free from<\/p>

the fever and the fret<\/p>

where there is no<\/p>

sadness or sorrow’s sequence<\/p>

but joy’s jocund company.<\/p>

The bird floats on the air lightly<\/p>

carrying no weight<\/p>

of the weary world<\/p>

on its bare back.<\/p>

The blessed being of the azure skies<\/p>

counter-balanced by<\/p>

the ever-complaining<\/p>

earthly race of humans<\/p>

never, ever happy in<\/p>

their existing situations,<\/p>

though endowed with immense<\/p>

latent potential<\/p>

yet forgetful of the<\/p>

power of mighty wings<\/p>

as those of feathered friends flying<\/p>

sky-high on their invincible<\/p>

precious possessions.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Of Dreams<\/strong><\/h4>

Dreams take us<\/p>

to unexistent places<\/p>

Figments of sheer<\/p>

imagination<\/p>

Generally horrifying,<\/p>

often pleasant<\/p>

not believing in<\/p>

such imaginings<\/p>

yet dreams lure us<\/p>

to a world of make-belief,<\/p>

and we begin to rely on<\/p>

prophetic aspect of the same.<\/p>

Dreams are good entertainers<\/p>

making us enjoy illusions, and<\/p>

leave us in a state of<\/p>

“willing suspension of disbelief”.<\/p>

Another kind of dreams are just<\/p>

indispensable to reach our goal<\/p>

the adage goes well,<\/p>

“The greater the dream,<\/p>

the greater the success.”<\/p>

Hence nourish the dreams<\/p>

rather than being horrified<\/p>

they’re the stepping stones<\/p>

to reach an exciting world<\/p>

of wonders never thought<\/p>

of in the world of realities.<\/p>
