Dreams & Beyond!!

I guess somewhere between my Rum

& my marriage I had a dream

I guess somewhere between an open jeep

& my dream I had a dream

I guess somewhere between the end of the month

& my birth I had a dream

I guess somewhere between Pune & Kerala

& my life I had a dream

I guess somewhere between the 90’s

& my dilemmas I had a dream

I guess somewhere between 301 & 106

& my heart I had a dream

I guess somewhere between a flute

& my keyboard I had a dream

I guess somewhere between Aju & Ranj

& 6 decades I had a dream

I guess somewhere between ‘n’  kitchens

& a lifetime I had a dream

I guess somewhere between our happiness

& a temple I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my sisters

& a life I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my brothers

& a soul I had a dream

I guess somewhere between the kids

& a love I had a dream

I guess somewhere between a desert

& my greenlands I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my colours

& my choices I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my wishes

& my wishes I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my voice

& my liberty I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my right

& my wrong I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my decisions

& my happiness I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my dal

& my sambar I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my thoughts

& my decisions I had a dream

I guess somewhere between my travels

&my family I had a dream

I guess somewhere between a lifetime

& my grandchildren I had a dream

I guess somewhere between a city

&the countries I had a dream

I guess somewhere is where I can choose

&still say to the world I had a dream

This is us, my Acha ,

my Amma

& their dream!!

Their Dream!!
