Habit of dreaming is not bad at all ....Its a time tested civilized pastime for the dark nights....that grow only darker in future...

Obsessed

I hear something crumble with in
the shriveled dream that once
lurked in a moment’s eye , paving
the way to that golden dawn in hope.

Like a coiled autumn leaf that’s careful
enough not to knock the wind’s door ;
soft eyes slowly open to the mirage
that ‘s a backward journey in time.

Reality strides the expanse that separates
sighs from the expectant breaths when
a shredded prism throws amputated
rainbows on a faded fragile wall in time.

A music soars from the distant rumbles
as a jarred window frames the raindrops
in a promise made to the green. Hope shall
again show its face on that dark bend tonight.

A richly eloquent, imagery-filled composition. "A promise soars from the distant rumbles as a jarred window frames the raindrops in a promise made to the green. Hope shall again show its face on that dark bend tonight." A brilliant way of ending this write!
