She Floated Into My Dreams That Day

She floated into my dreams that day,
Stealing my wealth, 
Shaking my roots, ignoring my prior convictions.

She had a different opinion, 
Determined to shake me and shine me.
I was a boot, tossed around on the bed,
Tucked under, 
Thrown into a wall,
Tried and discarded.

She floated into my dreams that day
And took over my schemata, 
Obliterating it,
Crucifying my former beliefs,
Throwing them into the closet of lost things,

I dared not retrieve them,
Getting used to my new stance
As a boot,
Changing myself completely,
A new shoe,
Not fitting on the old feet,
But converting myself to a new glorious foundation
Of spiritual truth, 
A changeling, forever, and completely.

The old ones are usually the most comfortable of them all.

Yes, but sometimes when we get shaken out of our comfort tree, we find our soul-self.
