Reel may not be real

spilleronsheet

When all’s sad

and anxiety crosses the street 

the news filled with grief

is it wrong to rely on some reels

 

we know those may not be true 

we know they may never come true 

a moment of smile

the gush of fantasy 

the sugar coated words

is it wrong to  rely

on some dreams of fantasy

 

they tell me

 look in water and reflect

they tell me 

to work and stop making clouds of thoughts

yet I wish to believe

believe in mirages of miracles

 

a snap of finger

a dust of shimmer

a fairy god mother protecting me

telling me to revive

dance in boots over the cloud nine

 

those Disney movies 

may be reel

yet an inspiration 

to face real

 

the prince and pauper 

Maybe siblings

the Aladdin 

flying and visiting the world

 

is it too late to go back to fantasies?

      Thank you so much dear Coyote
      Indeed it’s never too late

    • Nilanjana

      It's well written and enjoyable ... We need fantasy not to escape but to face the reality!!

        That’s the crux I was trying to weave
        To start the day with negative news
        It’s better to avoid
        I know closing the eyes doesn’t change the reality but why not wear shades to see the heroes working in shadows
        So we inspire and aspire to become one like them
        It’s not bad to idealise and superman and turn into one
        Thanks dear Nilanjana for your kind comments
        I am glad you liked it

          Your most welcome Dear spiller .....
          We don't create fantasy world to escape reality, we create it to able to stay. I believe we have always done this ... There are so many works and moments that influence us in what we do . Movies, music and most importantly the profound everydayness of our life.
