Dreams

Sometimes I dream of things that are
sometimes how things could be
sometimes they tell me what to do
to set the captive free

And so it was the other night
that you walked in my sight
your hair was perfectly coiffured
your eyes were dancing bright

A modern stylish blouse struck me
as did your long grey vest
and with this all you were at peace
yet radiating zest

I thought to mention a line you wrote
but heard a voice say wait
now's not the time just say hello
and see how to relate

Then right away another scene
I'm standing looking out
where once the beauty shouted loud
but now there left no doubt

That everything was leveled
a bulldozer came this way
and every flower branch and pond
had felt the blades full sway

Remaining now was fresh top dirt
just waiting to be used
I wondered what the plans would be
the art that you would choose

And knowing that this was a dream
still stood looking around
a tree or two was all remained
upon the precious ground

When dreams come close it usually shows
that each supports the pair
the meaning opened up to me
was positive and fair

The woman dressed so balanced
the back yard sunny and cleared
was not a change in who you are
but healed from hurts that seared

You have a waiting canvas
bright colors and a brush
and lots of time to enjoy your work
there is no need to rush

Someday when God is willing
He'll sit you by His side
and show you how the path cut thru
the story of His pride
