Last night's dream was awfully unusual,
Something I rarely have experienced.
Death and destruction not of Nature's
But the casualties caused by humans.

Dream is life to everyone. Otherwise anyone can't live in this world. Great ink! A lot of thanks dearest poet Savita Tyagi. Be well always.
A tears bringing poem, may everyone wish and pray like you.
Let me remain a human with a grieving heart, Extending a helping hand whenever I could, Let me not be without the love and empathy That connects us all from farthest of distance. A very compassionate prayer! With such feelings inside, your bad dream will remain only a dream and is not likely to be translated into reality! To become a 'neutral witness' to suffering is not possible for persons of our temperament! A great write Savita! A10
Let an awful dream not form base for unwanted conclusions. Let it lead to compassionate, sympathetic, and humane feeling.
Wow what an inspiring compassionate poem that exhorts towards feeling towards any suffering humans, far or near! We need more such people in the world who care n feel and i strongly share yor cares for humanity. Kudos! Great to read u again.
This is a profound poem. I believe you correctly interpreted your dream: you were offered peace of min at a terrible cost - the surrender of empathy and you found you could not do so. TO BECOME A NEUTRAL WITNESS might ease the pain of sharing the suffering of others but what a moral loss that would be. We feel compassion naturally - it the nature we share with humanity. I have been re-reading the AENEID with a friend. When Aeneas tells others of the carnage of the Fall of Troy, Virgil writes as a moral witness himself, THERE ARE TEARS EVERYWHERE, AND HUMAN SUFFERING TOUCHES THE SOUL. We would be lesser beings of our humanity did not display such compassion as you and the ancient poet display.
Let me remain a human with a grieving heart, Extending a helping hand whenever I could, Let me not be without the love and empathy That connects us all from farthest of distance. ......of course, as a human he or she should have love and empathy or any other divine qualities. So truely and nicely depicted in means of a dream with wonderful imagery. Thanks for sharing.....10
