The Raft

When I dream I dream that good overcomes evil always

And God is more than a hope of better times

And life is more than a sum of earthly wealth

When I dream I dream that I’m in a field

Of flowers that bloom forever

Where the voices of children whose hurts have been swept away

Into the river that flows into the center of the field

Returning joy and innocence again

to those broken heart-ed souls whose lives were destined to be harsh, even defeating and defeated

When I dream I see once innocent souls after living lives of sin.

Returning to their innocence

Astonished that they had been forgiven for all they have done

To deserve Gods wrath, instead they see the path they followed

was planned, never to harm another soul. but to heal.

When I dream I see myself at the top of a hill

Knowing I had done what had never been done

And how satisfied I feel. I can breathe again.

For this lifetime is now past , the struggles are over the hate is no more. the savageness has ceased to exist

And I can go home at last.

At least when I dream.
