Dream Seeds

Did I dig down
     Deep enough
           Into my pockets

A poem from the depth
     …just crumbs
             Did I dig too far?

My fingers wiggles
     Through the hole
           Apparently there is

More to behold
     In the complex maze
          Of my brain

Dream seeds woven
     By my heavenly father
          Does my psyche even know

What I want? Truth told He gives
     Us what we do not seek
          It is contained in those seeds.

Those ones that have fallen into outer space
     You probably thought they belonged to someone else
           Like magic beans that jack brought home, a tree appears

There’s so much fruit, your eyes almost hurt, your heart cries
     Not from sadness, it’s leaping out of your chest with gladness
           You behold the offering with gifts of praise, arms stretched wide

Dreams like fireworks, like cotton candy, like double rainbows
     Feeling like a child, who smiles and clicks your heels, and cries
          With serendipitous delight. God’s suitcase never empties. 

A bluebird flaps his wings, alighting on a peaceful branch, and sings.
