The Dream

In my dream

Last night I saw

That my embodiment

Challenged every law

Closed doors and walls

I could walk through

If need be I could rise at will

Standing atop any mountain or hill

There were no limitations

Of time and space

And I could be in more than one place

I saw how people saw me

A mix of awe and dread

“Can this be possible of someone alive;

She must be dead!”

The actions and reactions

That I saw in my dream

Made me understand

That I’m not what I seem

The me and them; the other’s face

All existed in my mind’s space

On waking up

I could understand and see

How every person in my dream

Was a creation by me

Their existence was all a play of my mind

On waking up

None of them I could find

They had all disappeared

I alone remained.

No us, no them, no you, no me

All relationships are fated for an end

In the mind’s story.

Last night’s dream

Has revealed to me

A deep wisdom about how to be

The only thing we must learn as we live

In all of our relationships

We must learn how to give.

It’s in giving that I’ll come to be

All of you

Smiling through all of me.
