Where She Waits

my dream from last night

I was asleep…
— until I opened my eyes…
— I was in an old town… a third world place…

Cobblestone streets…
— run down…
— falling apart…

There were people everywhere—
on the outside.. they seemed okay…
but once they opened their mouths…
— I saw they were falling apart too…

Nothing but rusted words…
— no faith…
— no hope…
— nothing good to say…
They believed in nothing…

Just empty speech… empty phrases…
— nothing on the inside…
Painted smiles that no one cares to look through…
So I shook it off me—
— continued on…

In the distance.. I could see huge pyramid-like structures…
They were white marble—
— steep…
— with hewn steps stretching across…
Carved for someone braver…
— layered one upon another…
— like a man-made mountain range…

Magnificent to look at…
— like the teeth of God…
— so high up…
— bruising the sky…
— such a challenge…

Something inside me cried out…
Something feral and buried…
I knew—
I must climb…

I started walking toward them…
— because I’m about to move up… 😉

The people started yelling at me—
Their voices like a flock of crows…
— black…
— circling…

You’re not good enough…
you cant…
you wont make it…
it’s impossible…
it’s too much…
you’re crazy…
you’re going to regret it…
you will die…
Yada… yada… yada…

Wrong words—
— like an avalanche…
— thundering down from the mountains…
Bursting into sparks as they hit me—
straight firing me up… setting my spirit ablaze…

My eyes locked…
I started to run — harder…
— faster…
— gaining momentum…
— like jets on a runway…

I took off…
— climbing higher…
— and higher…

The incline at times seemed straight up…
— I could actually feel myself getting tired…

But I kept on—
— never thought of giving up…
— never worried…
— never stopping…
— never slowing to catch my breath…

I’ve never had a better feeling in my life…
— awake or asleep…
— I felt so alive…
— so happy…
— it was unreal…

So determined —
— no one and nothing could stop me…
— nothing was impossible…

It was the greatest feeling ever…
I carried it with me all day after waking…

Mountains mean nothing…

And soon I will rest…
— on the summit…
— where she waits…
Take her hand…
— be her man…

I climb for that moment…
— a deep kiss…
— a life…
— that quiets the world below

Little by little… day by day…

Habakkuk 3:19

“The Lord God is my strength…
and He will make my feet like deer’s feet… and He will make me walk upon my high places…”

Let Love

my dream from last night…

I was asleep…
I opened my eyes…

Where the heck am I

I was in the back seat of a car…
some goofy-looking dude beside me…
a guy driving…
a girl riding shotgun…

The car was a real crappy-looking Honda Accord—
mid-90s—beat up bad—

And wherever we were matched it—
just as crappy—
I think it was Ohio…

I didn’t know any of these people…

No one spoke…
they stared straight ahead…

Then—
all at once—
they turned—
looked at me—

Every one of them—
bright green eyes…

The driver floored it—

We were flying—
everything outside the windows
tearing past—
at the speed of sound—

Then—
we slowed—
came to a stop—

We all got out…

In front of us—
a great lake—
still—gray—endless—

A long wooden dock—
stretching out—
into the water—

At the very end of it—
a beautiful girl—

Behind her—
far in the distance—
an ivory tower—
unlike anything I’d ever seen—

No end—
just rising—
higher and higher—
until it disappeared—
into the clouds—

I walked toward her—

Her back to me—
hair moving—
slightly—
in the breeze—

As I got closer—
my heart started shaking—
like the nervous end—
of a rattlesnake—

She turned—

Faced me—

Looked into me—

She said—These words—

“Let love…”

Then—
she stepped off—
the edge of the dock—
sank—
into the gray water—

Love demands immersion—
even if it drowns— `’.,°~

life is like an effin’ box of chocolates… 📦 🍫

last night while sleeping…

Last night…
in my dream…
I was Forrest Gump—

only for a little bit
and not nearly as smart as him 😁

But seriously…

I was sitting on a bench—
in a town square—
just like the movie

As I do in all my dreams…
I scanned everything first—
taking it in—
inspecting the air
the place
the feeling—
before diving in

Sitting beside me on the bench—
was a man I recognized

Gary

My neighbor from when I was about fourteen—
he lived directly next door
he used to play football with me and my friends
he took me fishing often—
he loved to fish—
and he didn’t like going alone

He didn’t really have friends either

He and his wife Nancy—
were from upstate New York
they’d moved to the Atlanta area for work—
and I assume—
to eat grits 🙃

Gary was older than me—
about twenty five
I was fourteen…
and still missing the toilet when I pissed

I looked up to him—
like a big brother

The last time I saw him—
was a few months after my friend’s funeral
not long after that—
he and Nancy moved away—
I think back to New York—
if I remember right

There we were—
side by side—
on that bench

I spoke to him…

He turned toward me—
but he didn’t know who I was

So I told him—
reminded him of our past—
the fishing
the football
the neighborhood

Then he remembered…

His eyes lit up…

And then I told him—
that God loved him

His face changed…

He became sad—
started crying

He told me—
his family was very worried about him—
very concerned

And that was it…

I woke up…

End of dream…

I went downstairs—
made coffee—
then breakfast—
in that order

I’ve thought about him all morning…
I prayed for him…

For some reason—
I have the feeling that today—
this very moment—
he’s in a storm

Unless…

maybe it isn’t about him at all…

Maybe it’s about me…

She Hasn’t Eaten Today 🐅

my dream from a month ago…

Press play if you want the atmosphere…

I was standing in a deep place…
thick woods…
felt like India…

I bet you know who rules the jungles there…
yep… you guessed it…

A huge-ass deadly orange striped beast of a feline…

In this dream—
She is the golden sovereign of the jungle
robed in fire and moonlight
her stripes forged from sunsets
her perfume on the wind…

An unintentional Maneater…
the ultimate predator…
a silken huntress…
an ambered shadowed She-Cat…
the King herself…

With heart in hand
comes the tigress…
she hasn’t eaten today…

As I moved through this place…
I felt her…
deep in me…
unlike anything before…

She’s watching…
waiting for the right time…
ready to leap…

She gets hungry too…

Life here is lonely…
but not for her…
she paints the light
names it hope…

Lions have their pride…
the tigress needs none…
her strength is solitude…

She still gets hungry…

So I stood there…
out in the open…
easily seen by her…

She kept coming for me…

Then I saw her…

O`my…`’.~°’.  -¡-_
there she is…

She wasted no time…

She bolted at me…
full sprint…

My heart racing…
palms wet…
fearful like the deer…

I can still climb…

I spotted a tree…
I climbed…
just in time…

I looked down at her…
to my surprise…
she climbed too…

there goes my heart again…
beating like a hummingbird…

In that moment…
I couldn’t tell
if I feared her claws…
or the beauty of her ascent…

I know I’m in trouble 😁…
it’s over for me…

…and it’s just begun…

The Blue Bitch 🧊

my dream from last night…

I found myself in a strange place…

I was waist deep in an icy body of water — dark… still… and filled with large chunks of white and blue ice
I could feel the cold cutting into me
I was freezing
Shivering
Every movement felt slow and heavy

At the edge of the water stood a large square black house
No windows
Just one open door — glowing with light
It felt like the only way out of this place

So I waded through the water in the night searching for something…
I didn’t know what

Then I heard crying

Someone calling out in distress

I saw a disturbance in the water ahead of me…
It was a girl…
She looked like she was drowning…
I moved toward her without thinking — instinct kicked in…

When I reached her.. I noticed something strange

She was blue

Her skin… her whole body… an unnatural blue

I tried to help her toward the shore toward the light — but suddenly she changed
She latched onto me
Hard…
she began trying to pull me out into deeper water…

She was trying to drown me

Her eyes were excited — almost joyful — as I struggled to stay afloat
She was enjoying it
Taking pleasure in my suffering
The fight for survival became violent and desperate
She wouldn’t relent

Neither would I

I fought and fought and fought

I was determined… not to let her win…

I pushed through the icy water toward the lit door of the black house as she tried again and again to drag me under
Through the open doorway.. I could see people inside — just living their lives
Normal
Unaware
Going about their day

I tried to yell to them

But I couldn’t scream loud enough

I kept trying… but my words had no weight
No volume
Nothing carried

I was so close to the door now — so close — and that blue bitch almost had me
She was seconds from pulling me under the surface of the water

I knew I had one chance left

I reached deep inside myself
I had to make it count

And I yelled one last time —

“YALL HELP ME”

I woke myself up… shouting those words out loud

Physically yelling

And suddenly… it was over

I was awake

Safe

What a relief

It was just a dream


—

very profound…
very real…
I laid awake in bed…
thinking `’.-°
