Dreams Fade

Dreams Fade

Curtains lift to changing scenes– 
mountains conquered, fairytales.
Leisurely visits to heavenly beaches,
dissolves of scenic Bali, 
montage of bohemian safaris,
unicorns, ocean of repertoire, 
kaleidoscopic and bewitching,
invisible to all else–
form a halo.
Camouflage from the ambient 
to stave off annoying knocks.

Flying carpet glides above the 
storms and provides
escape from the churns.
A safe haven from shrapnels,
coming from many directions, 
known but mostly unknown
and a flood of wonderment––why?
Sources vary and roots hide from the light.

As journey reaches foggy trails,
retrospection begins to nibble at the halo
