One Man's Dream
One Man's Dream Those fleeting moments, Those faint lights and voices, That reach us across time, Of our loved ones, Of our friends and foes, of those whom we lost to time, Of us, Our laughter, our cries, Our exhaustion, fatigue, and exasperation, The words of comfort from our mother, hope from our dad, Strength from our kith and kin, Its there; Always reaching us, Like starlight at dark nights, Like a distant note of music, A song whose meaning is indecipherable to others, Except you, Your life, your time, your memories, So close yet so far So colorful yet so faded, Its all there, behind us, beyond the veil of the present, The pain it brings to know, that we can never go back Is worse than anything we can ever imagine; Lost time, good or bad, is cherishable on looking back, Lost time isn't so lost, It is us who lose it to the present; But we can rest, Knowing it's all in at least one man's dream... - Arun Krishna G -----------------
