Sleepless Dream


My teacher told me to always dream,
Am a good listener; yes I do !
I kept sleeping; until I missed the gleams
I tarry a while and I missed that too,

With the tide and dark I dream,
I seek the light amidst the obscurity of the dusk;
Weary, dry and weary it seems,
Kinsmen raped the field to a dwindling husk

Awake now I walk; but blurry I see,
Steadily like a babe, I will make my feet;
Now I find my strength in my subtle SEA
Scars turned stars, arise from your perceptive pit;
