Evil dreams of vengeance, chase me through the night
If you demand me to stop, I’ll shoot a suspicious dart
Your motive may be worthy, delivery not so smart
If you shake me awake, I’ll run down a darker path
So violent your intentions, it only makes me laugh
If you touch me tenderly, I will savor the kiss
To think you would control me, deflates a moment's bliss
My dreamful wings unfold, I’m soaring into flight
If you whisper the dream is ending, surely it could be true
Your messages so deep inside, it takes a clever sleuth
If you send a handsome human, to do the job of an angel
The glance of a savior, will have so many hidden angles
If you shush me not to cry, salvation but a breath away
I will swear I am alone here, nobody destined to stay
The dream has taken a turn, sky fills with radiant light
If you tell me it’s the true path, I might not believe you yet
The ego voice of rage and ruin, seems an easier bet
If you bathe me in hope and faith, that I cannot see
I must believe the answers, will come from inside of me
If you show me I was created, right there within your heart
Doubts containing unworthiness, persist as if it were a lark
Dream flames burst into reality, gleaming full and bright
If you suggest it was the truth, that I used to love and know
Memories do surface, of how I made up a wild show
If you laugh with the author, to think it was someone else’s ride
Know creating my own rescue, brings me humble pride
If you help me stay awake, every minute of each day
There will be no more nightmares, that need be chased away
Happy Winter Solstice Everyone ~ May we all awaken on this very powerful night!
