What if?




What if you slept 
And what if 
In your sleep 
You dreamed 
And what if 
In your dream 
You went to heaven 










And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower 
And what if 
When you awoke 
You had that flower in your hand 
Ah, what then? 

[Samuel Taylor Coleridge]

  1. When I was a kid, I would be aware in many of my dreams, and I was forever searching for something to cling to, hoping that it would be in my hands when I awoke. But despite the number of times I tightly clung to items in my dreams, my hands were empty upon awakening!

  2. When you dream
    With your eyes open
    You really see heaven
    With a flower in your hand.
