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.

The journey of life long learning never ends, until our last breath. You've captured something intrinsic to our very nature here, and done it so beautifully. Thank you!
Thank you ma'am.
Please see the poem “The Indian soldiers” by “Nature” and my comments.
