Dreams

a poem by Sravana Reddy

Feeling life flow on,
Feeling the peace, the love
And the pain – forever.

Under my feet, the path
Guides my uncertain thoughts.
Through woods and mountains,
Fields, rivers and plains,
I journey on. Only trusting
In the road laid out for me…
The Spirit will never lie.

A touch of frost, a touch of sun,
I’ll journey on till my mission’s done.
Nothing can kill my hopes, no one
Can hold me back till my object is won.

The mountain ranges were vast and high,
Not to be moved. I fixed
My eye on the highest peak,
I walked the path again.
My despair cannot let me down,
My hopes will always stay alive,
My thoughts will never yield themselves
To other minds.
The stars will always twinkle,
Casting dim rays onto the earth.
I watched the peak growing still-
More conquerable. Nothing
Can steal my goals, my life
Will make promises that it must not break.
The mountain path is steep, I know,
But the river of hope flowing through
Will help me on my way – a journey
Towards the peak of excellence,
Towards the realm of eternal life.

A touch of frost, a touch of sun,
I’ll journey on till my mission’s done.
Nothing can kill my hopes, no one
Can hold me back till my object is won.
