I Know Who You Are

In my dream you exist with idyllic ease, Remaining invisible, you aim to please. Just a bud you were when the morning kissed And now you're a flower of fragrant bliss, When I lingered in tiny tributaries You taught me how to dream mighty big, Carrying me with your lofty notions Till I reached the expanse of deep oceans, And when I saw you in my bird’s nest You looked like listless greenish eggs, Till one day you chose to wake me up Chirping in zest like my adorable birds, Looking up I see you as dark gloomy clouds Till you rain intently to fill-up my reservoir, I know your trees breathe-in my polluted air Filling oxygen in my sphere so I can endure, I'm sure you know when I'm feeling down For as soon as you enter my woes are gone, Something unique about your helpful stance Regardless of how you manifest your form. January 19, 2018 Placed first in November 2018 contest by Brian Strand

Even in the silence, a moment left untouched. Sometimes, when everything is as it should be. You just know the one you need, is near. You feel wonderful, your heart is lifted. Just because. (Tender sigh) Congratulations Vijay, on this win. ~ Brandy

Yes, I think I was leaning that way. Something like the life force, which you can't really put your finger on (replying to what you said on my comment) I have been reading a bit on this subject and I can't believe anyone would not believe in this life force that sees us on into the eternities.

Very beautifully written. Such wonderfully descriptive images and yet you kept it so vague i could imagine it to be anything. A true dream indeed.

This one is fascinating, Vijay. We are left not sure what "it" is(since it goes from flower to rain, etc) and yet now knowing it was a dream! Good luck in the contest. I am wondering what kind of dream the judge is looking for.

You are right, Andrea..I didn't define what the force is. But this force is everywhere. The thought is based on ancient teachings from Gita. And let me say upfront that I am not at all an expert on this subject. But roughly speaking it says about the nature of God...it is the life spirit behind all life forms...it is all pervasive..it is inside all of us..it is the essence of all existence...
