Oh well…
Running out of thoughts that fade to silence
“I never knew you,” the Lord said as I grovel in His presence
That was a bad dream I had
I’m awake now the light shines through the window
I sit up and indulge in the gift God has given me
Life, Light, Grace, Love, and Peace…
What if my wife becomes a widow
I never met her… My children’s love I will never get to know
I want them to see inside my soul and know
that “daddy loves me with ALL his heart,
he will never leave or forsake me”
Security, something I didn’t know til death did it’s part
I’m made new
I fell asleep again
There’s a building, it’s blue from the reflection of the sky
I like how the clouds glide across the window and distort with each beam of light that blinds me
People look yellow… they’re radiating…some are floating
Some are crawling
No one notices, they act as if it’s normal
As I stand in the middle of the street, cars pass me from all sides

I’ve been standing there a while because my legs and feet hurt
I sit down in the chair that appeared, 2 steps away from me
I move it closer to where I’m standing because I car just almost hit it
A blue, yellow, and pink butterfly lands on one of my dreads
I sneeze but it stays
I was going to kill it because it seemed too peaceful
But because it stayed I knew it loved me so I loved it
As I’m raising my hand to try to hold the butterfly
it flutters to my finger
Wow, we’re in agreement, this butterfly really loves me
I start walking in the middle of traffic towards the sidewalk
The butterfly’s love gave me confidence
My right foot crosses the line into the far right lane
the one right before the sidewalk
I’m almost there
I look to the right and a yellow cab is a few feet away from me
I close my eyes…
I jumped out of my bed and the clock read 8:03
I’m late for work
Oh well…
