"Experience of much of human life,
the leadership of "gods" & "godesses",
is something scary, like holding a knife,
or scalpel blade." That's what one thinker says.
Its sharpened end: Discovering how to make
reality to change, & come in line
with my, or rather ou-r, hopes, to take
it on a journey where longings divine
are mixed with dreams, imaginings, all good.
It's made to come in line with them to make
some worlds to shine, more glisten, sing, as would
a mother who can give, more than babe takes.
The other end, by which we handle blade
(that steers it, lets it caref'lly work for good)
is first to let our longings, be so made
that they with dreams, imaginings, then would
be slaves of deepest goodness that brings on
a dreaming from Reality more deep
than atoms, molecules, and quarks'es songs,
that keeps them dancing, and can give us sleep.
To train ourselves to listen, look, and learn.
To train the kinds of dreams that we let live
within discretion-ar-y time, or spearn.
To bind our dreams & longings so they'll give
more order and adventure to this world,
more good to other people, for we know,
and we entrust ourselves to goodness hurled
into this Universe, so all will grow!
