Dreams

a poem by Kris (Mumbai)

I have a dream,
I have a wish.
I have a thought,
am I real?

I dream of happiness,
I dream of joy.
I dream of sorrow,
I dream of pain.

I walk alone,
in my dreams.
Hoping for a hand to hold,
a touch to caress.

I dream of peace in the world,
I dream of a smile on everyone’s face.
I dream of sanity
I dream of love.

I am tired,
am I the only one dreaming?
Have others stopped dreaming?
Have they lost humanity?

Alas it is only a dream
a dream too good to be true,
a dream too big for some,
a dream that may never see the future sun.
