This is a reflection on the loneliness of modern life, where relationships often hide behind polite conversations and smiles.

Through images of lost dreams and silent struggles, the poem shows the strength of the human spirit. It reminds us that even after heartbreak and loss, hope remains, allowing for new dreams.

# One More Dream #

You ask me,
“How have you been?”
through hurried calls
and familiar words,
but silence stands between us,
wearing the mask of affection.

The city sparkles—
glass towers glow,
lit windows,
and carefully rehearsed smiles.
Yet behind closed doors,
people sit with their darkness,
learning to survive it alone.

Our dreams lie scattered
like kites cut loose from their strings,
caught in the branches of passing days.

Still,
inside the heart,
small birds keep beating their wings—
bruised by longing,
unyielding in hope.

For the heart remembers
what the weary mind forgets:
that even after storms,
even after falling,
broken wings still ache for flight.

And somewhere beyond
the darkening horizon,
where lost prayers and
forgotten wishes rest,
the sky remains wide enough
for one more dream.
