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.
