Floating in a timeless space
Dreaming of long-ago days
All memories lay suspended
While the winds grew demented
The sun dipped low many a times
Church bells rang a million chimes
Seas brimmed over with tainted tears
Torrential rivers wept their despairs
Wild poppies that once ran over vast plains
Their seeds became dust while waiting for rains
Edgy and slippery and recently bare
A once snowy slope that ran out of its share
Towering skyscrapers razed to ground
And rebuilt a thousand times around
All lost in a little snort of slumber
While forests steadily turned to timber
Earth to concrete, to dirt, again
Streams to clouds, to drops of rain
Hundreds of thousands of circles of rust
While we dreamt, our dreams turned to dust
Woke up to find a different reality
Saw one another in all our frailty
Unnerved yet buoyant in primeval fervor
Tied as one in strands impossible to sever
Drifted in bewilderment for an unending moment
Uttered silent words which for ages were unspent
Grasped the minute-less hours that never came
Sank back to nothingness where it was still the same
Dreaming of long-ago days
All memories lay suspended
While the winds grew demented
The sun dipped low many a times
Church bells rang a million chimes
Seas brimmed over with tainted tears
Torrential rivers wept their despairs
Wild poppies that once ran over vast plains
Their seeds became dust while waiting for rains
Edgy and slippery and recently bare
A once snowy slope that ran out of its share
Towering skyscrapers razed to ground
And rebuilt a thousand times around
All lost in a little snort of slumber
While forests steadily turned to timber
Earth to concrete, to dirt, again
Streams to clouds, to drops of rain
Hundreds of thousands of circles of rust
While we dreamt, our dreams turned to dust
Woke up to find a different reality
Saw one another in all our frailty
Unnerved yet buoyant in primeval fervor
Tied as one in strands impossible to sever
Drifted in bewilderment for an unending moment
Uttered silent words which for ages were unspent
Grasped the minute-less hours that never came
Sank back to nothingness where it was still the same

@ A S - Thanks for the encouraging words.
@ Sam - I'm glad it had some effect I had tried to purport :)
\m/ . Hmmm...pretty good. One funny thing though. I had seen "school of rock" yesterday (yet again !!). So while i was reading ur poem, i couldn't stop myself from creating an alternate version of "its a long way to the top,if you wanna rock'n'roll". seriously, the lines from ur poen fit damn nice with the tune of the song. Nice work though. I really like the foolowing lines "Woke up to find a different reality

Tied as one in strands impossible to sever" - Simply Amazing
