A Workable Dream ( A Poem from Patna Blues)

A Workable Dream

I set out on a boat of memories
Into the ocean of imagination
In search of my dreams
That had drowned years ago

The dark clouds of doubts
Th e terrifying storm of hopelessness
And the high tides of fear
Discourage me to go ahead

The oar of my courage
Is about to slip away from my hands
When I see
The lighthouse of hope

It is the shore of an island
An island of wishes and desires
There is a forest on it
Thick with the trees of imagination
And on this strange island
I may not get my lost dreams back
But I can find a dream surely
A tiny but workable dream
