Sail Away.....

Gloomy Winter

Gloomy winter, wrapped up in the cold
Chilling winds ..run through my ears
God… When is this winter getting over?
I am tired of seeing same snowy roads

Need the summer to be here soon...
Spring, autumn have come and gone away
I am still here… far away from home....
I wondered what it would have been....
If I have never made it to this country
Never had to leave my childhood home...
Good old days… tucked in my cozy bed..
Always dreamed.. what would be like..
to grown up to a whole new world.....
Freedom to be who ever I want to be...
Meet new people, make friends and have a life
To be claimed my own, envy of my friends..
Having all my dreams come true..
I still wondered the life.. I left behind....
I have forgotten the taste of mother's cooking..
All the great conversations we had.....
And what was it like to be waken up to the birds
I was in the swing.. with my eyes closed tight,
Smell of the ripped mangoes eaten by squirrels....
Reaching for the blue sky in my little kingdom
Oh God.. I wish I can turn the clock back....
All I have now is the memories of little pieces
Haunting me to dig in more... to bring the past...
I wanted to have it all... Captured in my heart
What if I run out of space? Then I smiled...
Realizing we only get to live young once.....
It became part of my life ...that I am today....
If you don't move on..............
You’ll have nothing to look back on...

Power of Dreams

All men and women are born, live suffer and die; what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things, and what we do to make them come about... We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.

--Joseph Epstein

A dream that is not interpreted is like a letter that has not been opened. --The Talmud

Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much. --Unknown

We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.

--Woodrow Wilson

Keep your heart open to dreams. For as long as there's a dream, there is hope, and as long as there is hope, there is joy in living. --Anonymous

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.

--Ramona L. Anderson

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else. --Erma Bombeck

You'll never achieve your dreams if they don't become goals.--Anonymous

All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible.

--T.E. Lawrence
