Awakening

By Randy Ai


(February 3, 2013)

In my dreams I will awake
Awake three times before I die
And awake once more before the rise
Of the bread of Jesus Christ

In my dreams I travel far
From the beaches of my youth
Into worlds not heard by time
Or the sunsets passing by

Flying above the chimney tops
Over mountains, trees, and frozen thoughts
Through glass walls of sharp debris
That shatter and cut into me

Although I fell three times before
A wingless bird will fall once more
Into hell and deeper still
Into caverns borne by ill

But as I die I will awake
My dreams will blur the real from fake
And in the comfort of my bed
I will not know if I am dead
