I dream a world
where we awaken from the
dream
of the “me and mine”
life
where we awaken to our
divinity
that brilliant light
within
separation has no
foothold
here
and we transverse this
earth expressing
those light-filled attributes
(a light which has no opposite)
inherently emanating from our
true nature
that nature
transcendent yet
immanent
let us awaken from
the dream of separation
let us awaken
to the resplendence
of this earthly realm
filled with the miracle of
sentience and insentience
from gritty
nourishing
dirt and crop
quenched by waters deep
long and wide
to tundra expanse and
Saharan vistas
along with undulating oceanic movement
following lunar ebb and flow
and stars and galaxies above twinkling their light from
a span of millions and billions of years
away
the grandeur of it all
manifold tapestry of earth and
sky...
let us descend into the great heart
of being
the great heart of
being
that is one with all that
is
where kindness and respect
compassion and fierce courage
gorgeous rays shining out from unconditional love
empower
add dimension
gentling us into an increase of that light
(a light which has no opposite)
Let us awaken to all this
I dream a world
where we awaken

This is in response to an invitation to write a poem which starts with the line, “I dream a world,” on the part of a poetry contest held on MLK Day this year.
