Haven’t we all held a precious Dream?
That we imagine and re-imagine,
How? We would live out that dream in real life
So well practiced! those many hours of Dreams.
And when that dream does come true
Would you say that…
All so hours spent
Will help you live it well?
Or would it be better to say…
Those hours of fantasying,
Help!...Make “The Dream”
Come true after all.
Now living that dream,
Is what matters.
Wouldn’t you agree?
That dreams are best experienced awake!!!
Now I held secret,one such dream
And am happy to say am living it now.
Then again,
Am asleep or awake?
What do think about?
Camelus Dromedaries in a rare phenomenon of precipitation!
Just trying to pretend,that I think out of the ordinary
Am talking about “A Camel in the Rain”.
Returning home, in heavy Bangalore traffic,
Wasn’t quiet unpleasant one day.
A slight November rain,
Soothed most sheltered soul.
As my eyes quenched,
In the grey moist picture.
An ironic blot, stood out
A pair of camels in the rain.
From early childhood,
We are taught to picture a camel
In the sweltering sun,
And to praise its wonders of adaptability.
Little did I think, I would spot such a sight
So much so, that my mind said it wasn’t right
Now who am I to decide…
That a Camel stands in scorching sand and not drench in rain.
That vision, out of the ordinary
Did provoke, to ponder on my mental blocks.
Was I a camel, should I be content in the sun,
Or do I dare to venture out, and soak in the rain
"If you - live your dreams awake,
I think you’re a camel in the rain."

very intense....and please tell me the meaning of the heading please..
Doesn't matter whether you are day dreaming or fantasizing something in your sleep [ ;) ], important thing is to ENJOY…
Most of the dreams may not come true, and the things you never dreamt of might just happen (like you seeing Camels in Blore), but you experienced it. That's when I think you drenched in the rain instead of being content with the sun...
(Does it make sense?? :)) )
