there are doors with guiding lights
to show us the way
little flickering flames
swaying while they glow
like the great milky way
a river in full flow
a bed laid in glitters
with sparkles of stardust

sometimes in haste
sometimes in laze
the glow worms gleam
leaving us in hallow daze
and if we time it right
and catch the flickers
while they appear,
the doors shall lay wide open

this big machine waits for none
enter on command
and be set to be ground
as we spiral into and out of
this gigantic space
riding unicorns in the sky
and sleeping through
desire-driven dreams

then, the morning shall come
and the sky shall then open
painted in soft hues of blue
with white clouds tipped
by crusty fields of gold
as the crimson queen
shall spread her wings
and green rushes shall dance
while the river shall sway
to the music of the dawn

(and I shall drink my first sip
of freshly brewed coffee
and think of the big machine
and its definitive grind)

(smiles) Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful, it would be such a wonderful feeling always to find that subordinate imagination within every dream, just like a parallel universe, this reminded me of the Goo-Goo Dolls song "Big Machine" reading it, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sudhir, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I can't add much to what the others have said. I like this one a LOT!
