Life

Life is not a scrawled hazy fantasy. 
We must learn to impress what we fancy. 
If we open our fastened jalousie 
then maybe, we can explicitly see 
that our mind can be wider than the sea. 
For sometimes, gleam of bright reality 
does not reflect our chosen cup of tea; 
It takes far more than what we ought to be 
For our rambling captive souls to be free.
