The Real Tale

a poem by Pavan Kumar

I heard many tales in my childhood
Full of adventures and mysteries
Full of kings and fairies
Full of strange creatures and ghosts
Some lived in the stars
I tried to chase them in my dreams
Moving in slow motion I reached near them
But as usual they were gone
Today, I think, I tried to capture tales
Today, I try to capture reality
And the reality lives in the earth
And the earth is only home for me
And the earth is only tale for me
And I can explain why the earth is a real tale
Because every tale comes from the earth
And every reality lives on this earth
