Dreamt of a dream
Where you slept in your sleep
Ran a race
Where no one moved
And lost
From a winning position
Then found Success
In failure
And felt victorious
In defeat
Found fortune
And lost your soul
Then negotiated your way
Into losing your providence
Achieved fame
And lost your identity
Desired the Devil
When you finally found God
Felt desire
On a lonely night
And craved for solitude
In gorgeous companionship
If this is you…
Go on
Get up
Be human
Go Places
Start running
Hunt for life
Find Death
And when you eventually get there… look back… and smile… you have lived a full life….

The truth of life, simply told.
I liked the way you added the short story type of narrative in the end, seriously man, you are a creative person, a very good one that is!
@ Pawan
Just an little slice of life.. this...
And thanks bro...
Felt a few. Will get up and look back. Hopefully would have experienced a few more ;)
@ Atrisa
Get up... soon... :-)
Splendid! that is the reason why i cant stop myself from coming here... :)
@ Rashmi
And you are one of the reasons I gather the courage to write...
Thank You
@ Choco
Curiosity killed the _ _ _ _ _ :-D :-D
LOL
Jokes apart... the identity might be known and the state of mind is healthy...
After you Choco :-)
Grrr...I knew that seemed too easy...
I never offered to reveal my identity...So common now. Don't be such a party pooper... :P
When did I offer to reveal my identity... I said that my identity may already be known... but then I like my anonymity... so let sleeping cats sleep... :-)
Whats not so cool about it???
Always cool Choco... I never take offense... :-)
And stumpy legs???
The mind is seriously meandering..!! Lovely post!
Oh! The mind... It controls me Anita... and it takes me places... some of which I like and others that I dont...
Today... I guess it went to a good place...
I am glad you liked what you read...
a full life...decoded :D
neat Mr.Mind...now i know the meaning of life isnt in the himalayas...its at "As The Mind Meanders" ;)
Beautiful...all this is very new and different. But I like it...
@ Blunt
I am off to the Himalayas now...
Thank You Nikki... look forward to your blog post now...
Hmmm....Profound!
Hey...Hi I am ur new blog stalker ; ) Very well written...u write well...hence the stalkin!!
Good evening Mr. Mind Meanders - how did you think up all those things. I have had some of those dreams and some in real life but some not so much and hopefully never will. As always, you did good.
Choco @ - what do we know about Mr. Mind? Who he is? He is young but not a kid. I guess 25 years old. We know he doesn't live in France or Sweden. His career of choice is not farming or donut maker. He is a gifted writer so it is likely he is capable of strong emotions. His choices in women is not singular but seems to be somewhat eclectic. He has strong polictial opinions. We will have to start documenting tell tale secrets he leaves - it is only a matter of time.
@ Shanu
Whats profound??? :-)
@ The Miracle
Oh! I really like stalkers... Thank you for stalking me... :-)
that was so so so awesome man , i mean the words so simple you make them extraordinary, awesome indeed
and the chat with choco was awesome as well ;)
take care and keep writing.............
@ Grayquill
What is your real identity mate... I can bet you were with the FBI... profiling and hunting down serial killers :-)
And my choice in women... how did you decipher that... I am stunned... or am I :-)
I wish the two of you luck... I look forward to the day when both of you tell me who I really am... :-D
@ Thousif Bhai...
Choco is awesome... so obviously every chat with her will turn out awesome...
When are you gonna write something...
Yes dear that is what life is....I agree stuff happens
@Pesto...
Yup... But not that bad mate... life is good...
@ Choco... Smarty...
Geez... how did you guess all that (sarcasm... not wonder)...
Come on... tell me something that I havent written... :-)
I have found success in failure..so can i say that i have lived atleast half my life?? Naah.. Guess its not time to look back.. ;-)
Overall a nice poem.. I loved the starting lines.. Dreamt of a dream
Where you slept in your sleep..
Keep writing.. :-)
@ Sangitha...
I hope you dont have to look back for a long long time Sangitha... have fun mate...
Cheers
Ok Choco... lets see how you have done...
I do not think you are around 25 years of age. More on the wrong side of 25 maybe.
right and wrong... I am on the right side of 25... the mature side...
Your parents live in Pune(very wild guess).
Rubbish
You are paranoid about being found out, so much so that, as readership increases, your blog posts no longer talk about your life (Refer initial posts).
Choco... look back again.. the post the said the post about me came once I had readership :P
Does that mean your real life friends blog? I wouldn't know.
No... they dont... but there are a few real life (isnt blogging real life too).... sorry... non blogger friends who know my real identity... and would carry it to their graves... just as I would their secrets...
You could be anything ranging from a serial killer to a compulsive obsessive something on the side(heh) :)
Compulsive obsessive... NO... if you see my room... you wont say that...
Serial Killer... Oh! I would love to live in the mind of one.. but unfortunately... I am not one myself... love human beings too much... but cats... hmmm.... joking Choco...
Ok... Now after your comment... I feel really good at myself...and my ability to keep my identity quiet... If you cant make out... no one ever will...
that was beautiful, just what I needed this morning. Inspires so many visuals in my head, took me places. Very sedentary my friend very. Thanks for this.
contrast has never been found so wonderful.now make this d serious business..will u ? i mean poetry
@ This is That
I look forward to the post that talks about the places that you went to..
@ Choco

@ Manisha...
Again thank you... when are you gonna write something again...
Lord! you have entire conversations on your comment list. and I thought i talk too much :D
that apart.
i was surprised i didnt read this before but i forgot i was "away" ;)
it captures those 'profound little thoughts with such simplicity! it makes it beautiful :)
i cannot, for the life of me, write in sheer verse.
*cries out aloud* "elusive simplicity! when shall we ever meet."
@ Meghana
"i cannot, for the life of me, write in sheer verse"
How on earth does it matter lady.. you write like only you can... and it borders on the right side of brilliance...
