It was but a dream

Sonal Singh September 23, 2019 Poetry Leave a comment 79 Views

Floating on a warm breeze, hope appeared

My heart sang, suffused with joy, but alas,

It was but a dream!

 

Life gained momentum, my career took flight

I rejoiced, I thought I’d be free of domesticity

It was but a dream!

 

I settled into matrimony, the kids came along

A sabbatical beckoned, the career could wait.

It was but a dream!

 

On the wings of solitude, quiet came calling

I sighed, willing to sink, but alas I realized

It was but a dream!

 

Then I shied away from dreaming, I desisted

But life said, ‘dream on’ and I did even if

It was but a dream!

About Sonal Singh

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
