i got lost in a world
that was moving at bottleneck speeds
(free) time is unheard of
love was measured in green (currencies)
emotions were all just a scribble on the seashore
one after another - no reason, no rhyme
staring out from my island
i feel helpless and so out of tune
no one helps you when you fall
this whole world fishing
from the same hole
fishing rods big and small
everyone was trying to "catch" the same fish
everyone was thinking only about the same "moby dick"
while the whole world is searching for moby dick
i go away to
find some place new
Somewhere we can be ourselves
Some of the time
with the moonlight behind me
in the middle of all commotion
far away from land
even further away from this "contest"
i sit on a small island
devoid of all things insane
i throw the bait
and start fishing for a dream

Hi SPK
Beautiful poem..
After all the running around , finally we look for peace and real things in life.
Even an innocent dream is capable of giving us the pleasure we long for.
Loved it.

Fine composition . Dreams are the yearnings of the mind---you got to be sure what they are--don't fish for them--go realise them. joke apart--you are good in thought orchestration. Keep doing. regards. Rajee.

Very true.A wonderfull poem! We now live in a world were you think and do things to impress others without even thinkin that you like the thing or not. Our dreams have become so weak again.Thanks for a beautiful poem that made me feel that its never too late.we can always be ourselves

spk
that was beautiful
btw u can find yr island within yourself by going inwards
acceptance and forgiveness are great tools for peace within n without
everyone is afraid of a snake 'cos it can kill but u know that is its nature and it is
true to itself
it is the unknown that is bewildering hence acceptance of all that is occuring
and forgiving n moving on really helps
sorry for this lecture
best
bina
