‘Dream’

What is a dream?

A figment of one’s imagination

Occurring in a split of a second

Can be of happiness, ecstasy or devastation

Making one hold on to the reality beyond

Which falls like a gust of wind Into the deep valley of forever darkness

And then rises to cliffs of heavenly light

No thought of time

The past faded like a memory into the distance behind

The present numbing into the mind

The future fogged like an ancient moonstone mine

Just pure thought, floating

Like a leaf of tropical palm tree

On a transparent crystal sea

Floating

The magnificent roaring waves

Guiding thought to the island

The island of beauty

Of shores, waterfalls and mountain valleys

And nature leading the rays of sunshine

Onto this place

Where no one may reach

Except for the one’s soul of whom this dream belongs

This imagination of reality with no galaxy of time!

Walid recently rediscovered his passion for writing when he came across some poems which he had written more than 20 years ago.

Walid receives inspiration when spending time in nature and when reading or listening to authors like Alan Watts, Carl Gustav Jung, Fritjof Capra, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton, Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Wayne Dyer, Denis Waitley and Anthony Robbins.

He also finds that he unveils deep insights and reflections when writing speeches that he delivers at his local Toastmasters’ public speaking club.

Rumi said, “there is a voice that doesn’t use words… listen”. When we spend time in nature, and when we read and write about subjects we resonate with, we begin to hear the whispers of our inner voice.
