This magical land

This magical land that I see in my waking dreams is
My dinner table
This desert landscape
Magic carpet in the clouds
This holy palace
Shining like a bubble
I'm awake, so near, so obvious
Its my own picnic blanket
The one I'm sitting on
Fibers stained with grass washed with Tide
Its the teacup in my hands
The mirror on my dresser
Why am I looking when
It's just behind my eyes?

I'm the one who said
God don't forsake me now
I'm the one who said I'd leave it all somehow
I'm the one who tried to reach up from the dust
You're the one whose whisper broke the silence

I'm the one

I'm the one who said
God put me thru the fire
I'm the one who said
Lord put me to the test
I'm the one who looked up with eyes like shadows from the grave
I'm the one who begged
Begged to be made to live again

Agitation

My agitation
With places and spaces
Half empty boxes
And threads (tattered)
Has baffled the experts
Doctors scratch their scalps
And wrinkle their brows
While I writhe at their feet

But I know
There are words that can save me
If I dig them up
They grow from the earth like pencils in a cup
Ready to sctach the surface of me
With a new song

Dream

When you are finally living your dream
You may not even know
If your dreaming you did long ago
Another age
Now you're awake

Now you find with the sky at your side
And the stars on your shoulders
You'll never forget
You feed yourself now, you follow the clouds
And you'll pass by me
Without any hesitation

You forgot what you wanted
You can't remember how you got started

Screen doors

The screen doors will come off
But perhaps not without some skin
