In a Nutshell

..this is all about dreams! what we dream at different stages of our life, from childhood till the day we die!!

------------------------------------------------------------
in a nutshell


beyond the horizon beneath the deep sea,
lies the world which we cannot see.
where, no one can reach not even the light's beam;
in a nutshell, we call it a dream.


fairies and goblins used to dominate the scene,
then came distinctions, caramel and ice-creams.
grandma's ghosts exploited mellowness with midnight screams;
in a nutshell, adolescence was altogether a different realm.


senesce trounced the vernal tenure,
and our dreams became  passably mature.
career and relationships made them little sour;
in a nutshell, the life ahead opened the door.


then came the age of influence and fear;
from the corridor of peace rose the mighty terror!
politics and concerns pushed cherubic images to the rear;
in a nutshell, life was moving in fourth gear!

from fourth to fifth it has to come to a bay,
bygone seraphic memories will flashback on the way.
those final moments will wish for a back gear in our tray;
in a nutshell, the life's engine has to stop some day.
