#sleep – A Life's Journey

She saw herself in a castle surrounded by all the courtiers. In the mirror, which was placed right in the centre of her bedroom, she found out that she was the princess. They asked her to leave the place as it was too risky to stay there. It was a fight or flight situation and she was a fighter. She would never leave anyone behind.

Knowing her very well, one of her advisor handed her an egg. She gave him a perplexed look. What was this all about? He told her that the enemies had already reached the gate and she should protect that egg from any harm. That was her duty towards the kingdom.

So,she ran as fast as she could keeping that egg safely in one hand and holding the sword in another. While running, she developed an attachment towards that egg as if it was something which belonged to her. It gave her a purpose to live and fight with the enemies with all her courage and strength.

In that dark night, where the moon also forgot to show herself, princess ran towards the battlement to reach the tower. She tripped on something and the egg fell from her hand. She screamed out of fear and pain. While falling from the height, the egg cracked and she saw a beautiful baby. A human baby from an egg!!!

It was quarter to four in the morning. When I had woken up from the sleep all panicked and worried, I found myself all wet in my sweat after a terrible fight in the dream. Correction… Nightmare!

I still don’t understand why on the earth I was protecting an egg and why would a human baby hatch from it!! Any explanation or suggestions are welcomed.

Standing two feet away from me,
I knew that you were watching me.
All I could see were your eyes,
Flames of fire burning my eyes.


I couldn't stop myself but to stare,
Wondering what else must be there.
I remember those eyes from somewhere else,
Is that from this life or the previous ones?


Are they meant to pierce my body, soul and mind?
All those questions were passing through my mind.
Those eyes were so deep and soulful,
That I could drown myself and be grateful.


When we got distracted from the people around,
I knew that those eyes will just linger around.
May be not in this life but surely in my dreams,
Ahh! I think it's time to wake up from my sleep and say goodbye to my dreams.
