The Dream Vision

When we say,

“I have a dream,”

what we often mean is not a dream,

but a vision.

A vision—

a scene from the future,

envisioned in moments of darkness,

yet filled with colour,

emotion,

and life.

A scene so real and vivid

that silence itself begins to speak.

No special effects.

No music around.

Yet the heart hears

a thousand emotions

arriving.

A scene so kind and true,

with people near and dear,

yet distant in time.

A scene so lively and surreal

that life feels paused

inside possibility.

A scene so real and vivid,

with objects lying untouched.

A scene so involved and immersive

that even the unseen

feels touched.

A scene so real and vivid,

with delicacies spread across a table.

A scene so inviting and tasteful

that the tongue longs

to taste the moment.

A scene so real and vivid,

with fragrance floating through the air.

A scene so intimate and comforting

that memory begins to smell

what reality has not yet known.

So when we say,

“I have a dream,”

what we truly mean is:

“I carry a vision

for my life.”

— Keats Baladasan
