The Living Dream

July 25

 

 

THE LIVING DREAM

 

Throwing yourself into the river in pieces drowns you as crumbs.  Casting aside love and longing makes you less in your heart, and your soul stops beating.  Pitching your tent with critics and complainers leaves you out in the cold on warm summer evenings.  Crest the hill to meet the rising sun; orbit the constellations without hesitation.  Petit-point the pictures in your mind, then set them to music.  The world is your dream.  Live it into reality.

 

 

Picture your voice.

God

 

I need help.

I need help availing myself of the help

You have provided me.

 

I am embarrassed to lack the ability

to complete all the steps necessary

for achieving the goals you have set before me.

 

I see now that it is always my turn with you

and I can stop standing aside

believing that I have had your attention

and must now do without.

 

I do not want to ask for more;

I don’t want to seem greedy.

I forget that you know my heart

and that you trust me.

 

I am going to make that a two-way street,

maybe a four-lane highway.

I need help,

thank you for being help full.

 

Love,

 

Sherrie
