Of what Dreams may come!!

Dreams!!.....intangible, abstract and fallible, but yet so powerful!!...it's no wonder we all partake in it!.
Yesterday night, I had a dream!.....I prayed in vain that I'd never wake up...but wake up I did and along with it vanished my beautiful dream like a morning mist!!.

Watching the sun slowly but painstakingly making it's way through through the sky, I wondered!!....Is there anything that would better serve to define us other than our unfulfilled dreams???!!!.........

Like the road I never took...........
Like the one whom I long awaited, but never did come.....
Like the face I sought among the millions, but never found.........
Like the bird in the meadow, I wished would sing, but never did......
Like the memory I hoped would never fade............................

These aren't essentially regrets but deep poignant whirlwinds that swell up in everybody's mind, time and time again. Albert Einstein achieved so many things in his fruitful life, but his last days were marred with a sense of detachment and futility as he couldn't reconcile relativity with the realm of atoms in a grand unification theory! But none the less, ever since we have had dreams, we have had hope and hope spawns needs and needs spawn innovation. This is precisely what replaced the archaic but useful stones in the hands of our ancestors, with the modern laser guns!...the clay tablets and papyrus scrolls with digital notebooks!!............

Unfulfilled dreams have gifted us with masterpieces in art and literature, filled our hearts with inexplicable melodies and far yet taught us that it's okay to have dreams....some see fruition, some go unfulfilled, some abhorred and yet others pass the yoke to the next generation.....!!!
