the Dreaming

while there are dreams 

that are meant to be

held onto with Hope

(like Peace on Earth

and Justice for All

and the seeming

impossibility of Love

accepting and connecting

and enlivening All)

even these dreams

that capture our imaginations

can also hold Us 

captive to our machinations

visions of fascination

that devolve into fixation

upon that final destination 

trapped within a stifling

incarceration of scheming

and sweating and steaming

(and sometimes screaming)

to make the dream

into a reality...

but what if

it's not so much

the dream itself 

but the Dreaming

that sets our Spirits

soaring and streaming

into new realms

of growth and healing

we never imagined

were possible before

(even when we're feeling

like we're kneeling

and needing to wish

on every Blue Moon

in the night

without a lucky

Star in sight)

and reminds us

that dreams possibly

are sent less 

to believe in

as a final destination

of full realization

and more to receive

as a liminal inspiration

towards fuller actualization

of Self and Soul

fleeting Incarnations

that break our hearts

apart and wide open

and make our parts

more wholly Whole

and helps us

not to forget

how holding on

(while something Life

requires us to do

from time to time

in order to survive)

ultimately sets the stage

for the Glorious Gifts

of Grace to arrive

on wings of Freedom

(enabling us to thrive

and float and fly

like beautiful leaves

falling in the Breeze)

that are only perceived

and received and realized

in the letting go...?
