RESIDENT POEMS 2- Scenes In My Sleep



 Scenes in my Sleep 


Eyes partially opened

Mind gently activates 

A sound sleep it was

Silently laying in bed 


Thinking on the scenes 

Of the dreams of my night 

Scenes sacrosanct 

Scenes so sweet 


Scenes of the past 

Scenes of the present 

Scenes of unknown future

On the screens of my mind 


Scenes featured in my sleep 

Who sends these scenes?

What do these mean? 

And for what reasons?

Each resident shared his views on same. We all agreed h

Is that not sir Augustine?Yes,he's the one.Awww,how I wish I had seen him earlier.Come to think of it,ITS been 20yrs already.How amazed i guess he would be to know that he once taught me.Yeah,I'm sure he would....Just a few of the many reflections that came to mind when I saw my Class 1 teacher while in taxi a few days ago.He's simply an awesome teacher. Ever since I left his class I've been taught by several others yet I've forgotten about most of them but not him.And why so?I asked myself,then it dawned on me when you knew nothing but just the national anthem song and ABCD...'A ne ne ba'.... he believed in you.When you feigned sickness during your maths class,he knew all about it yet he said,you're a bright kid,work harder.I was young then but His words had a phenomenal impact on my life.Only if he knew how powerful his words were.I recount when he once said his pride will be
