RE: Great News From India: My Poetry Included in a University Textbook :)

in #esteem6 years ago

Congrats on this honor of being in an Indian college Textbook!

I think people can relate to the poem because we're animals and we dream, but we've also seen our pets appear to dream so we kind of know it seems to be universal among animals.

The final line reminds me of an older song I like, with lyrics something like this...

Death is a dream. We die every night, awake in the morning again.

I guess it's been said that sleep is like a small death, similar in that the dreamer's consciousness might be dead in a sense, with their body in a relaxed generally unmoving state. But in some allusion to reincarnation or life after death, we wake in the morning again.

I hope you're having a fine weekend! :)

Hey, thanks, for sharing my Joy, dear Kenny :)

Yes, we are dreaming animals, and I like that echo you heard in those lyrics. What a marvelous thing to consent to die every night and be reborn the following morning, like being given a new chance every day to right what's wrong or undone..

Good weekend, so far, socializing; wishing you a Happy Sunday :)
