A Dream of a Life

A dream of a life

I will never lose sight of a dream 

which I have since long

As I tread in its trajectory         

                          there are pearls that I gather

 when I work hard

And the smell of the wind which carries it

is always afresh in my mind

                         It sustains my life like oxygen does my lungs

And the spirit inside me feels ecstatic

when I am another step closer to my dream

like when a lover nears his love

                          in the realms of a romantic poem

I have never thought of losing a battle

For I have none to fight

Nonetheless, my dream is my only battle

With myself, where I reconcile 

And in the midst of everything I do,

                        a soft touch of hand and love is all I need, 

to make my life all I want it to be.
