“Dreams in God”

“Dreams in God”

If you want a piece of heaven

You will end up with a lot of hell

There are no pieces of the divine

Only wholeness

You have that dream inside you

That fetter, that chain, that swinging sword

Never enough time

Never enough rhyme

Only the pasture as a state of mind

Only the desert, for your daily grind

You cannot escape how bright it gets

You cannot survive the haunt of its shadow

The fire next time

The water this time

The rain heavy on the mind

The lightning in frightened state

An equal argument on every side

And you in the middle

Struggling with the idea of who you are

And what that means on the face of the planet

Or the Face of your own life

You struggle with the weight of this thing you must create

It eggs you on through desperate nights

And makes a sun in daylight

This feeling:

I am more, I am more

Falls at the touch of common reality

But do not be afraid

Reality is not destiny

Things will not always be in the shade

We are living in those shadow lands of the past

And the future is eternity

If you want a piece of heaven

You will end up with a lot of hell

There are no pieces of the divine

Only wholeness
