LIFE is the hardest battle, in that realm we learn how to live and survive.
Once a person approaches and says “SMILE”. I was a person of pigeon’s attitude; running away from life, its adventures, its pleasures. Let’s take it easy: I was a person socially isolated, always in depression, anxiety and so change is compulsory when we don’t change ourselves
Allah sends someone to change us.
Allah sends a friend through a dream to make me realize that life is itself a test which is full of obstacles, setbacks, turmoils, problems that never means life is empty. There is always light after darkness, there is always light at the end of tunnel, and there are windows closed but doors opened. Life is not easy route to travel and we must not expect ease from life .
WE ALL ARE CAGED IN CAGES WITH UNLOCKED DOOR

A SMILING TULIP
ONCE I dreamed: there is flower, tulip, smiling, shinning life firefly, dancing like super bird of paradise and peacock, echoed like nightingale, and singing like Eurasian Hoopoe. When the smiling flower spoke I was lost in the world of imagination where the smiling flower approached me and glanced me like I was it’s nearest soulmate.
When it came close to me, in glimpse of the eye she changed into a person of exaggerated beauty. She came closer to me. Her Egyptian face particularly; her Egyptian eyes were just a world for me, her killer smile took a small part of my heart. In sudden she took my scattered soul, and I sacrificed my heart for her killer smile.
She was walking like blue bird of paradise, stunning like peacock, walking like super bird of paradise to get attention. I got lost. I felt her killer smile scattered my spirit in dense clusters of daffodils. When she smiles even the dead Earth becomes green suddenly, beautiful flowers and plants start growing in glimpse of eyes. It was incredible, when she raised her head and started seeing moon with her Egyptian eyes. The moon shied and became dark but the smile on her face lightened the world.
When the light fall on flowers this give them new potentials to grow and everyone were lost in the lightened face which made them smile. After few moments kaleidoscope of butterflies flew and with flower petals and start showering petals on her. When she smiled the petals started growing in the sky and called dancing birds- peacocks, bower birds flamingos and many more to dance and singing birds nightingales, canaries robins to sing. It started raining but instead of droplets, pearls fell on earth. This petrified me. I was paralyzed seeing such a beautiful scenarios. It was mysterious and magical. I had no words to exaggerate how beautiful a smile could be.
When she called me, rabble of butterflies rushed to me and gave me wings to fly. I flew and approached the Egyptian soul. She then said, “your are the reason of my smile, and light in my Egyptian face and eyes’’
She requested me to be the person to preserve her smile.
And I said ‘of course’.
Has she gagged me. Light appeared in sky. God started speaking and said oh! The man of unexplained beauties. I claim the love is interminable because you both are one soul abiding in two bodies. Never stop loving each other because this smile gives life to everything present in this garden of pearls .
I asked, ‘Why he chose both of our soul to be one?’
God said, ‘I have seen something in both souls so I decided to compound them and abide them in both bodies.
I smiled and said, ‘oh lord ,I promise that I was part of her existence from the day you created the souls and now I claim I will never leave her because she is the person of my dream.
The light in the sky disappeared and the echo withdrew.
I hugged her and said I will not be the example of Slough in mid furrow or the example to stop the wheel of wine press . She answered with a SMILE and said your shadow has been light upon my face. We both sat in the garden of pearls on diamond wrapping chairs. I said seeing at sky with eyes full of tears: let not the waves in air separate us today and tomorrow, and let our life long friendship to be a example for people . And let the the days we spend in mist become a album of memory for youth to give dreams to their dreams.
She took my hand and said let’s scatter too many fragments of spirit in the garden: where peacocks along many other are dancing, nightingales along many others are singing , let the colorful rainbow in blue sky encourage us to paint our friendship, the rains showering pearls give us lesson to shower love ,the streams flowing with sweetest waters empower us to flow love in our veins full of blood, let’s the plants give us a lesson to taste our this journey we have embarked, let these albums to be parent love , passion for us and let all these to be children of our existence
We flew in the garden of pearls and she echoed that let tarry longer to change our souls . Then we started dancing in meadows where cattle were gazing under highest waterfalls, birds singing and dancing to entertain us the scenarios were untranslatable.
Suddenly I woke up with a MYSTERY .
The next day I was walking slowly trying to understand the dream . A bird Start singing when I saw back that killer SMILING face and with her Egyptian face coming toward me. I need help. She helped me I was shocked . She became my friend
Later after few months she become my best friend. She taught me real meaning of life . I had a life full of pains and sad stories but she helped me to forget all pains which drained me. She became my support to let go past and move and focus on future . She was a person of good attitude and soft tune which helped me to forgive people who did wrong with me. She gave taste to my life . When she met me I got birth again and this is made me realize I have gotten another life full of happiness .
“A friend who smiles is a blessing and most valuable gift you are endowed with
___ IBRAHIM BALUCH
Now I knew that why god showed me that dream because I was too disappointed and frustrated. I was disappointed from the doors of Allah . I thought I have my all doors and windows of blessings closed but now she made me a complete new person . I changed my attitude and way of thinking because a person in the form of friend has power to change a person .
Everyone should select a good friend, partner who will help in achieving his/her dreams, goals and visions . Thankfully GOD selected that soul I dreamed in garden of pearls . Now she is part of my soul and existence .
