A Dream of Awakening

When we dream, we invite the opportunity to listen in a deeper way, to that which is mostly unheard. Can we bring what we've heard in to our waking lives?

 

Stand by my door whilst I sleep

Then wake me from my rest

Clothe me in a silken gown

And lead me out the door

 

I will follow, sleepwalking

As you guide my way

Outside to the garden of midnight

Where our journey shall continue

 

Walk with me at my side

And whisper words of beauty and peace

As you take me through a winding path of cobbled stones

With sweet smelling roses at our side

 

Guide me up to the center hill

There may we stop and listen

For in the distance sounds an ancient echo

That has never ceased to call

 

Lay me down upon the soft grass

And we shall hear what were longing for

A sign from a long forgotten time

And a promise for our future

 

We hear it each night whilst we sleep

But forget it upon daybreak

It lives in us like a never-ending dream

An echo of a memory, longing to awake.

' We hear it each night whilst we sleep
But forget it upon daybreak

We are part of everywhere ever visited, feel everything ever felt, know the past and the people we've met on the way, asleep or experiencing. Your words understand their heartbeat.
