Dreams in God

“Dreams in God”

The day to day is what humbles you

It tethers you to earth

Life is not lived in the action files

There is no epigram that can cure the human soul

Cliff notes do not get you off the cliff

You have to get deep, down and dirty

Down to the bone and seed

Down to the weather, the withering, the death

There is no place to hide the darkness

The light is in flight

The light is in flight

It is not all doom and gloom in the glory

It is also fire without the brimstone

Falling without the bone crush

Flying with the cape, love

It not all doom and gloom to your story

Attempts are just the cannon fodder

Victory is not the crucial, other

There is nothing in the centre but God

The source of life

The source of bright

It is not all doom and gloom at all

Dreams are just speaking wishes

Wishing wells and deep cisterns of our shared fate

The things that come before the things that come

There is not a terror in them to fear

It is not all doom and gloom on earth

Leave space for that other place

In dreams you find them, day by day

The imagination to light a fire against the tide

The inspiration to look at your own self in the eye

And not to condemn

Nor judge

To embrace and to love

And to fill all things up

With this great idea

Of the waking dream

Finally made real.
