"My heart still beats: my best is yet to be"

Dreamer Sleep pauses my life to keep me alive A little death to keep great death at bay Deep well where I drink deep think deep and thrive My necessary nourishment each day By which I dream ideas to poetry Through dreaming heaven comes on earth to me No news is good news now so I refuse To wake up to take up the tidings now The rude intrude but I exclude them use The time to heal when dreams are real somehow To grow to know and then to show them all What I see in dreams sleeping through the fall I hunker in the bunker of the moon And see more clear than those who lie awake The fall is falling hard now it will shake Their narrow nightmare nation hard and soon In my night visions I see dark and deep That we are most free to be when asleep When I wake up and make a cup of tea Breathe the scented steam and recall my dream Sleep sifts the grain from chaff and poetry Is born from when I silent lay as dead Its voice is my own as it sings through me Some shout of war I sing of peace instead Some shout of hate but I will sing of love Whether or not it is granted to me To know it myself at least I know of All the sweet pleasures love brings to this life I once had a lover once had a wife My heart still beats: my best is yet to be What are we here for? To make love not war Why have we been given heartbeat and breath? To live to love to bring life not bring death Is peace some folly of the innocent? If peace is trespass I do not repent As nightmares come true I will dream for you +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMV

Geez. Stevie. My dreams (and they are not nightmares) will not let me sleep of late. I can relate. I dream and dream and dream; and meet so many people; I can't sleep. Thank you for sharing the reality of those of us who are "ready to move on." Or. We are ready to learn more about what's going on in this "part of town." Love you, bro.

This is beautiful Steven. If life were only as it is in our dreams. You have to keep in mind though, life is a struggle. Yes we have hearts to beat, hearts to love with, but we also have competetion. Competetion leads to hate, and hate begets hate. It is a vicious cycle. Be well. ~ Sara
