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]
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!

ReplyDeleteWith your eyes open
You really see heaven
With a flower in your hand.
