BUILD MY CASTLES IN THE AIR

Once I tried to walk my dreams,

And put my mind to only flesh and bone.

And overt physicality of schemes,

But after a few steps, I fell down.

All my muscles, sinews, nerves and will

Were powerless to put me on my feet,

I tried and tried and tried and tried but still

I found myself squarely on my seat.

All my efforts, having all my sweat,

Which I had pre-invested were futile,

But I had learnt that frustration and fret

Are never helpful even for a while.

Hence I started dreaming then and there

And bent to build my castles in the air.
