From Dream to Dream

From Dream to Dream

—after “From This Sleep, Lord”

Blessèd Lord,
Wake me from this worldly delusion.
From dream to dream I move
In the sea of a million things.

Blessèd Lord,
Wake me from this world of pain.
Allow me to enter the golden kingdom
Of light where all things are real.

From dream to dream,
From sleeping blindness
Clear my thoughts,
Clear my eyes.

Lead me into Thy sacred sea
Where I rise dripping
Awake in Thy golden dream
Awake in Thy pure loving Love.

A slightly different version of this poem appears in my collection Singing in Soul Silence: Voices of Faith.
