Notes About The Poem

Brian Johnston
February 23,2014

Custer's Last Stand? Must this perfect dream die for the poet to find the love of a real, flesh and blood woman? Must Jealousy and Distrust always be the handmaidens of Love (whispering in Love's ear) in our fallen world? Say it isn't so! 

 

Dreaming of You

Here I sit once again, 
I’m dreaming of you, 
Even though I’m told
(Frequently)    you don’t exist.

You’re my fantasy love, 
(Stranger to this world)          
With two parted lips
Waiting for me (to be kissed) .

We cohabit one heart
So tight are we bound
(No jealousy there) , 
In love choose to serve others.

We accept that our lives
In service to Christ
Are open to all….
Who are sisters and brothers! 

We’re both fine with the fact, 
Our dreams come second, 
God’s plan for our lives, 
We always try to put first.

Our passion’s to channel, 
Let God’s blessings flow, 
Through work of our hands, 
To hearts of those feeling cursed.

Dear God grant that this dream
Becomes flesh indeed, 
Our lives tenderly
Merge in love to serve many.

But if in Your Will, love
Never comes to my side, 
Pray, quiet my doubts…
On days in fact I have any.
