Dream

This poem is loosely based around a couple of dreams that I had in the past, which really helped me to gain the clarity that I needed at the time.

Through sheets ever soft

I plunge into darkness

By which is a world

From reality, the farthest

Sometimes I dance with demons

As they seek to pull me under

I strive with all my heart and soul

To never make a blunder

Many are temptations

At times, I don't resist

I allow the dark sensations

With demons I have kissed

But then I oft' remember

The Light that seeks me daily

The shades give gifts of chains

Their "love" will always fail me

But the One that comforts

And loves without condition

Chases after my straying heart

Always making me His mission

Why am I running

From He who loves me most?

Why do I seek to be filled

With the emptiness of ghosts?

So I return to the truth

Even deep within my dreams

Betraying the betrayers

My Savior sets me free

He gives me gifts of love

He shows me I am precious

With Him I am secure

For He calls me His greatest treasure

So when I return to life

From a world that's so unreal

I will remember my King

And the love He makes me feel

Even in that realm

Of wild imagination

He remains steadfast

A truth that is unchanging
