Slumber
Wholly awake I Am.
In the arms of my
Father, I reside.
Yet in dreams I wander. Lost, alone, and afraid. Searching for what was never lost.
Yearning for a Home I never left.
In Heaven there is but one I —
The creation,
Emanating from its Source. In the dream there are many I’s —
All perceiving insanely,
All staggering, drunk with fear.
A mind made crazy by guilt.
In this “world” I seem to stumble.
I seem to fall again and again.
I walk through the garden,
Serpents at every turn.
The temptation to remain apart
Barking at my heels.
Chasing me, those hungry dogs of fear.
For every temptation,
Every twisted road I travel,
There is an Answer.
There is a Voice which speaks to me.
It gently tells me of a story.
The ending of which is sure.
There can be no other Way but Home.
It tells me of the Truth.
That I have never left those arms
Embracing me even Now.
It tells me of my innocence,
Of the unreality of pain.
It tells me my Father would never
Let this happen to His Beloved.
Awaken or remain asleep.
Remember or continue forgetting.
But know this, It calls to me —
There will come a time in dreams
When time is no more, and never was.
And you will find yourself
Awake as always in the arms of Love.
I awaken from slumber.
From dreams of need and want,
From an hallucination of despair —
Seeing clearly with “eyes” that have never
Known tears or seen deprivation
In any form — no form indeed!
I awaken, I Am awake…
God is…
