I Want To Believe

Last night I fell awake out of a nightmare, The world was cracking and splintering, into sparkling, crystal, fragments, Like broken glass in a parking lot, I want to believe, We can save ourselves The hopelessly human, Flawed, ugly, dangerous, squabbling children- Can be transformed, into beings who love without hesitation, and return us to Eden, I want to believe, All is not lost, That my light can shine like yours and we start working- Breaking down the card house of illusions, Get a dustbin and sweep them up Throw them away, Leaving us only visions and ideas That seem unrealistic or impossible Yet,it just might work To create a better existence on this blue speck called Earth.
