Life Is A Dream Poem by Sixtus Osim

Life Is A Dream

Rating: 5.0


So short a dream like morning dews
So fast a thing I never knew
Would fly like dove and melt like frost;
Sometimes a guest, sometimes a host
This strangest choice, too hard to know
When it comes and when it goes
I just realized it was too late
To turn around and clean the slate
Of all the wrongs and put them right -
A morning came, soon it was night,
I slept a bit then began to dream;
For truly, truly life is a dream!

A true Poet in you dear Osim! ! Loved the phrases in their stream Which one I must say as they flow higher after one another? So short a dream like morning dew So fast a thing I never knew so short is like that dew drop! Sometimes a guest, sometimes a host we are all sure are guests in the God's Make! ! I just realized it was too late To turn around and clean the slate exactly if God (if Only) had given three parts for us humans in a day to clean our slates..but then Hinduism call it 'karma' saved for next life! I slept a bit then began to dream; For truly, truly life is a dream! So true Poet it is a dream as dictated by the very almighty! A wonderful Poem Dear Poet Loved it so much and10++++++ is never enough for the instincts you're blessed to come with the thoughts and submitted write the marvelous piece!
