In My Dream Vision
In my dream vision, my spirit had left the Earth.
Behind me was God's special planet;
Thick, white clouds covered it.
I was flying and soaring with ease.
I turned away from gazing at the Earth
To see what was next.
To my surprise, my delight, an owl rather
Large, almost cartoon like in appearance.
Now that I am thinking of it he reminds me
Of that Tootsie Pop commercial where the little
Girl ask the owl how many bites does it take to
Get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
The owl replies, "Let's find out! One, two, three; three!"
The owl I was facing as I held onto the top of his wings
Had a professor's look to him; wearing spectacles and a
Black graduation cap with a tassel on it,
And a nice dark blue dress jacket.
I held onto this important owl, then I couldn't help but
Look back at the Earth.
Becoming uncomfortable about how high I was right then,
I turned around to fly back down to Earth not intent on landing
On the ground.
No, for the moment I was content to fly into the cloud mass that
Covered the Earth...
Not ready to soar higher just quite yet.
