Dreams

Dr. Sangeeta takes us into a surreal world of freedom, in this verse, exclusively for Different Truths.

In dreams you do the dare-devil feats
Climb up the golden steep ladder that leads to the sky
Rummage the underwaters
And flap your wings up in the sky
In sleep, you are a soul-free
Of fetters or any shackles
Thick forests or the open azure sky
Like a bird zooming high
Or flitting on flowers like a butterfly
There’s freedom in life
No limitations and no taboos
That curb or control
The limitless soul!
