What is a Dream?

a poem by Adurthi Sushana

What is a dream?
Fragments of the past,
remains of the day,
that refuse to go away!
Translucent webs of the thoughts,
the mind cannot perceive,
the residue of sadness!
Subconsciously received!
Sweet memories of time and place,
tokens of delight…
shreds of things that frighten,
formless in the night!
Whose spell are we under?
What is a dream?
