Windows To Worlds

By Meera Jenkal

Have you ever…

Opened the door to your dreams?

With a key of inspiration;

And listened to your heart?

Ran away from nothing.

Toward no destination, in no direction;

Just to chase the wind?

Swam in the ocean.

Seeking mermaids and myths;

Held a shell and awaited stories?

Whispered a wish into a tree;

And waited for fairies to reply?

Went searching for belief;

In the forest of faith?

Looked for faces in clouds;

And christened them with names?

Have you ever…

Got lost in your imagination?

Painting your thoughts;

And wording your silence?

Planted a seed of hope.

For it to reach far and high;

And make a passage to the sky?

Borrowed threads from a spider?

To weave a web of wonder;

And catch visions in it.

Written a letter to God.

And set it sail in the sea.

Sipped on water to taste wine;

Or picked pearls in pebbles?

Believed coincidence to be a miracle;

And read a sign in the stars.

Have you ever…?
