The Dream - Rabon Saip

[Larry Robinson]

The Dream

I cried a lot today, 
in a way I wish we all could cry. 
I cried because 
I am part of something 
that is dangerously 
out of control,
something that started so long ago 
none of us can remember.

It seems we have come apart, Beloved. 
We have named the distance 
between us 
and so have given it meaning. 

We have turned our backs 
on one another 
and pretend we just can't help it. 

We have fallen asleep in the midst 
of such incredible beauty 
that even the angels 
are crying 
for the tragedy of our blindness. 

Wake up, Beloved, wake up to the soulful 
energy that rises within you right now, 
this very moment. 

Wake up to the dream we all share.
