Dust

I started writing a story of a dreamer

It began beautifully

Like stars hanging in the sky

It was filled with passion and emotions

Colorful like a rainbow circling the earth

When in summer hot air rises from the ground

Carrying the dust with it

The vision gets blurry

You see everything

But still, you see nothing

My story also lost its vision

The dreamer lost its passion

How do I stay away from the dust?

I can not

I need glasses and I need to stay inside my house

To stay away from the dust

But I was out

In the middle of the hot air

With my eyes open swallowing all the dust

I cannot always remain inside

You have to face the sun

And get wet in the rains

I find it hard though

Even after wearing glasses

Some dust will enter into your system

It will irritate you

You will try to wash it with water

And as soon as you remove the glasses

Boom!

The wind will blow you away

Into the reality

Into life

And you will stay hanging in air restlessly

Surrendering yourself to lies

My story lost its vision

But it didn\’t need glasses

Glasses are for reality

I removed all the dust from my imagination

The dreamer got its passion back

The story got alive

In reality, as I was standing in the middle of a dust storm

I switched myself off

And entered into my story

The dust started to settle down

And it started raining heavily.

  1. I loved the image that you’ve created through this poem! 😇 It’s interesting how a passionate dreamer can switch from reality to his imagination so easily, haha! Glad I came across your blog.

  2. ‘You see everything. But still, you see nothing’ This is such a captivating line. This line and the gist of your poem speaks of feeling overwhelmed. As the poem progresses and as we keep moving forward, it speaks of gaining clarity. I really like how you also said glasses are a reality…sometimes what we put on, like our face, is a mask to the world each day. It’s not until when we feel truly comfortable that we can be ourselves and find our passion once again. Again, great poem Shreyans 🙂
