I see a river flow

I see a river flow.

No second thought;

Started off an odyssey

On a raft.

Going with the flow,

An easy task; I knew.

My journey forward

Forward, forward.

Sand being left behind

On the banks;

I think,

They too saw a river flow.

The sun dries them

To the last of their moisture.

My raft, getting weary;

But, think otherwise,

Said the sand.

Nightfall, fog, chill

Trying to take over me

But, one thing

Kept me pushing

The deep, blue ocean.

The sun rising;

Demystifying my doubts;

Resurrecting hope;

And, now I saw

An ocean, vast.

Dream Bubble

Caught in a bubble

Magnificent, it was

My precincts, serene, beautiful

Harmony, everywhere.

My nose was no more

A nose;

But, a hawk's beak.

I could feel,

A strange familiarity

Everywhere.

I called the place

UTOPIA

The perfect place;

No fights, no battles, no wars

Finally, a place of my dreams

I was in.

I explored the landscape;

Moving to the edges;

Reached the 'Bubble surface'

Through it,

I saw a familiar image

With a smile, pleasant.

Pressed by face against

The surface

But least did I remember,

I had a beak.

The bubble burst.

The familiar image

Stirred was now;

With no smile, pleasant.
