Life is nothing but a Dream!

Lost in tears, 

I did not notice, 

Dusk descending

Petals dropped, 

And piled up on my robe

Dull white rag 

Laid over my dreams.

The sun goes down

Behind the mountain peaks

The moonlit valley of Calder

Last night I watched its lure

From the windows of dome.

Darkening shades of trees

Falling on the walls of Church

Like shapeless ghosts, 

The acquaint myth of Dharma,

Retold stories of Fate.

Winds passing 

Through the shaded grove

The birds have gone, 

And people too are few

The One I cared for

Standing in the midst 

Sobbing softly, 

Can't hear the words…. 

There's no death, 

Just the dream 

That touches your heart

And it fades for ever

Before long, leave 

No trace behind. 

-Krishna
