The Psalm of Eternity

Awaken me, O Lord! This burden of sleep is heavy-- I know I am dreaming, such a long, long dream-- but I cannot rouse my soul: it sleeps, sleeps, sleeps and I can but wait, wait, wait.... I sing to that I AM, beyond time itself-- I sing to the Lord of All, the Lord of All Worlds, the Lord of Light, the Father of my soul. Answer me, O Lord-- this burden of sleep lies so heavy-- I know I am dreaming, such a long, long dream, but still I cannot stir my soul as it sleeps and sleeps and I can but wait....

This poem alludes to much, of which I am only partly aware. I also seek to awaken and my life has made some progress in this process. Thanks for expressing it so well.
