Optimist / Devesh Kumar Pandey

It was sometime in my dream,
That he came in my mind's stream.
Confident he was, his face all bright.
I wondered who's this man in sight?

Who art thou, I gave a cry.
An optimist, came the reply.
Where doth thou live, I cried again.
Why,he replied, inside every man.

How can that be, are you inside me?
I can't understand, sir, why you doubt me?
Then how come I never met you before?
To meet me or not the choice is your.

Why should I meet ya, I asked hypnotised.
Tell me the truth, nothing you hide.
Well, he started, I can pull you from dark.
Can keep your soul always a lark.

I murmured, you do it by some magic?
Please don't go, tell me that trick.
It is easy, sir. be it thin or thick.
To the bright side, you always stick.

I must ask you, before I let you go.
How would introduce you to my fellow?
Tell them, he smiled, I'm in them inside.
An optimist is the spring personified.
