Broken dream...

In amidst of thousands
I heard my name called aloud

Oh! I am there
Standing on the stage

With all the great poets
Cheers, claps and applause
Happy and thrilled!

Words full of praise
All bestowed on me

Suddenly, I hear
A sound aloud!

With a fright, I awake
To my dismay, I see
Pieces of glass,
Scattered around.

Oh!! My wonderful dream
Broken into pieces
Like scattered bits
Lying on the floor.
