A Dream of Reality

It's not a dream; it is reality.

I walk under the dark sky,
Hoping something will catch my eye,
I look up, with hope in my heart,
I see nothing, but it's just a start.
Everything seems so gloomy;
It is a dream of reality.

I see a mysterious figure,
It's approaching, nearer and nearer,
I run away from it
And walk into another street.
Everything seems so gloomy;
It is a dream of reality.

This street looks more familiar,
I walk faster, feeling merrier.
I reach my destination and open the gate,
And I realize, am really late!
Everything is not so gloomy,
It's not a dream; it is reality.

A conversation that led to a blog

So am on The Twitter a lot lately, and I had this conversation with a total stranger sitting in another part of the world (or so he claims) and two of his questions struck me; "What are your dreams in life?" and "What has been your memorable vacation till date?" for which I had a spontaneous reply, to both (surprisingly):

A holiday in Durban, South Africa

I have many dreams; to travel the world, become a successful media personality, make my own movies and documentaries one day, publish my own novel(s) one day, host a show perhaps, own a beautiful beach house and give something back to the needy.

My memorable vacation? My dream vacation is Greece! *smile* But one that I've already been on is Cape Town, South Africa. Beauty beyond description...from the beach to table mountain to the Cape Point to Robbin Island! It was amazing! *smile* 

The whole point of this, is that, sometimes even a stranger sitting in another part of the world can help you discover yourself. Of course I knew those are the things I want to do in life, but I never actually explained them to anyone. I may have dreamt, but today, I am determined to make this happen. I am determined.
