circus of emotions, finding a way to fly,
leaving a tail of silver glittering fire,
the residue of what once was dear to heart,
.
the land where, one had found the strength,
time to bid goodbye, to those boulders,
(which are now broken into sand kernels),
.
as the crescent moon gazes, meditating
at the scene of sultry separation,
.
the circus of emotions in tatters, flying
away, with the memories of those lives,
no longer tied, to the rope of significance,
.
I close my eyes… I am that pulled apart earth,
bidding goodbye to the circus, and along with it,
a farewell, to what all were my dreams once
.

Very sad to let go of one’s dreams. I do hope that different dreams can be found again, as one really cannot live easily without dreams.

I find dreams to be difficult to come by. For my children no – for me yes.
