A dream..

A dream..

---

God’s “dreaming” is the thing we call our world-

our Universe, with “matter”, “time”, & “space”,

and “energy” as well. More than what’s curled

within my dreams, and I am glad to place

his dream a higher order than my own, along with hopes and wishes from us both.

His “wants”; his “will” - his choice involves what’s shown

in life of his dear boy - even his growth.

And Paul, this Christ’s “Ambassador” to Earth -

our Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, all our groups,

spelled out the will of God, for those rebirthed

in Christ. He wants his off-spring, or off-shoots,

his children, to be all that they could be,

as likenesses of him who chooses deep

commitments for himself, and what he’ll see

at first, all his priorities that seep

through all his choices. That’s the way it is.

And this God’s “will” that’s stated for his child;

we’ll hear and take quite seriously as biz-

nus of this fam’ly, not so tame, more wild!

Big disciplines, of sorts; more central posts,

they’re core to what is more, and more like Christ,

they cover all of life, and serve as hosts

for more to be brought in. A life so spiced

is not stopped at one stage, it stretches out.

My dreams don't often smell; but he wants his

to smell like Christ, his boy who’ll give a shout

at “touch down”, then a field goal, which he kicks!

“Be joyful always, ¹⁷pray at all times, ¹⁸be thankful in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
