Waking dream

Perhaps all of this pain was meant to be

Just possibly the way to be free

Was to face it all

Accepting that what came

Was some kind of gift

Even when I felt it to be

The heaviest of burdens

Now that the view is beginning to clear

And I have dried so many of my tears

I understand more of what came to pass

And my heart grows in compassion

Sometimes I feel you moving so close to me

Whispering the things you never got a chance to say

Making all the hurt and fear I felt

Melt away

Sometimes it all makes sense to me

And then sometimes in the midst of this

I just get overcome

With the most overwhelming flow of peace

As I know myself to have been

On exactly the right journey

Then it is that the broken pieces of this experience

I call my life

Coalesce

Into an amazing kaleidoscope

Within which a glaring symmetry

Reveals a hidden image of my self

Reflecting deep within the waking dream

Of my life
