I Dream Awake
Shredded remnants of foolish desire
Binding me long to this earth
Fade now
To small regrets
Of wasted time.
Strident bits of childish dreams
Holding me strong to this world
Fill instead
With pure reflections
Of grace.
And I sleep upon
Quiet pools of love
Sparkling brilliant blue
Against the harsh pull
Of arid pain.
And I dream awake
In visions of exultation
Binding me fast to heaven,
Borne along
By streams in my desert.
