Dreams
In the beginning God created
the dream,
Later both God and man created
the world.
Eons later the dream has become
the illusion
And the mind-created world the
reality.
This confusion between illusion
and reality
Has remained the dagger between
what is given to us
And what we could make of it.
We do not prepare for our dreams,
But are lead into an inward
journey -
To a destination where we would
like to go,
But did not intend to go.
Mind tries to convert all external
reality to a dream.
The struggle between the two
is the fabric of human existence.
It is the dreams which give
us pain.
But if we shut off the dream,
The existence turns dry as dust,
And there is music no more.
A dream holds us strongly by
its hand,
But reason commands coldly.
While intellect works by slow
sequential steps,
A dream dances its way to the
destination.
Works of reason are the jewels
of human mind,
But the creations of dreams
are both the works of logic and beauty.
Organized thought for too long
may smother the birth of a new vision,
A dream has more power than
a thousand reasons.
Life is a continuous inner dream
Smothered by reality.
We dream, we are awakened, we
go back to the dream.
Maybe, it is all a dream,
The external reality but our
own fabrication.
