“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
