tied to the knot




years ago,
one tied a knot - to rest;
his boat.

years hence,
the man realized - the slumber;
rot the boat.

the knot,
still was there - intact;
but to no use.

his dreams tied,
strands of rope - coloured;
colours all faded.

the threads unraveled,
his past dreams - to return;
for him - they still wait.

Nice, dreams are not to be tied to a stump, but must be like the kite in the sky.

thanks. its true to keep dreams fluttering in the air but in this case, time played the game - changing circumstances.
