Wide Awake in Dreamland

 

I feel the poetry all around

in every vision, every sound

in the sunrise, sunset, moon-lit dew

the wind talk, bird talk, water blue.

And in its essence I feel it so

the dream, the moment of peaceful slow

my soul, awake, in dreamland dear

through the water, the spirit encompassed here

 

I dive right in, this lake called peace

and swim about the blue green fleece

the trees, my kin, the stones my own

inside, beside, within my bones

Dear mother, my earth, my heart will cease

yet not my spirit, only sweet release

for before I was this you see before

i was, and am, and will be more.

The stardust, my blood, the sky, my soul

this world that turns, within us rolls

I am you, you are me,

God and all inside us be
