Dreams and Desires

adventuressmalik

How wonderful are the themes

that we experience in dreams?

So vivid while we are asleep,

as awake when we think deep.

 

Dreams give us inspiration

and propel toward exploration

learning invites us this way

experiencing life as a play.

 

To learn we require,

just a dare to desire.

We must be sure to achieve

For this, we just have to believe.

 

The desires we must weigh

and choose in such a way,

the ones that are good to achieve

and don’t make us grieve.

 

Once our chosen desires

burn like wildfires

we gallop to the goal

and learn as a whole.

 

We must also know

the time to give up or grow

we must carefully handle a desire

to not get burnt in its fire.

 

Without daring to desire,

one can never inspire.

Life will push us to make us learn

and we’ll feel the heat in the return.

 

We just need to pick,

between a carrot or a stick.

Learning is our only goal,

desires can play a positive role.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Many great philosophers have felt that the mind is a monkey drunken on the wine of desire. To me, this appears partly true as I feel comfort and strife are two faces of life and the purpose of both is to make us learn. Either we get motivated and start to fulfil our dreams and desires or the situation will push us to learn.
