Dreams Matter
Let’s share our dreams together
We cannot forget to be vulnerable and in love
Please, God, let us not forget
Or we’ll dry up and fade like memories -
The ones you’re not sure if they’re real or imagined -
So long out of reach they are on the distant shore
of another life and we are somewhere else.
I want us to love
It’s easy to be hurt and so many are
Rolling in pain but never touching its truth which is
Love’s call and nothing less than the Golden Doorway
Where do we go from here?
Down is the only direction to the soul
I, holding your hand, our other hand at our heart
Lighting the way and taking turns - encouraging,
coaxing the child when one of us feels scared
Are we strangers to one another?
No
I had a vision-like knowing of our many-storied past
We have known each other long and deep
Hurt and desire, love and sorrow, through the wheel of time
And now we meet once more to try at love again
I’m sorry if I hurt you
Through lifetimes of treading dark waters with no light or raft
I was sinking, not knowing it was safe
So I caused you harm
Maybe I even called it “love” in that life
And love was certainly there, ready for us, always
Please forgive me
We have both paid more than we owe
It’s time to start collecting our delicate threads back in
I’ll help you fill your basket and you can help me too
We’ll take our time and share our stories, our songs
as we work
Dreams matter
You matter to me
And I don’t want to hide from you
I want to see you and know you
All of you
I’ll be gentle and kind and honest
I promise
I’ll be like a lone white cloth on the drying line in the sun
If you stand barefoot on the cool green evening grass, you’ll see
When you look at me straight on, the sun shines right through
The breeze will blow your beautiful blonde hair
And you’ll finally know you are at home
