Piercing the Substance

The dream came and revealed
your supremacy.
How could my breadth have been so small
as to question your sovereign nature?

To wonder at medicinal necessities
that take me into frightful realms, wake me
in a pool of sweaty fear and make me doubtful
of your ability to rearrange my visions.

But you revealed yourself by piercing
the dark substance I had come to expect.
You lifted me into flight
and poured your presence over me.

You disclosed yourself in the body
of a small dark man who touched me gently
and sent radiance through my core.
You were the pilot of an airborne machine.

You lifted your passengers high above the earth.
Those who knew you and those who did not.
You told us that we could be glorified through your character.
My son walked from the back of the plane
and embraced your counsel.

Janet I really liked this one as it had so much expression to it with great images of your dreamscape drifting in and out with reality and trust in this man.

Yes, yes, yes! Can so relate to this, Janet and you have brilliantly given an accurate picture of the vulnerability and feelings of isolation that any life-threatening situation can give rise to. That being said, saving grace can come to us through any person and in any way that our strong faith enables it to be received in the instant we are able to empty ourselves of the "big freeze" and to trust. As others have said, this is a write which leaves us grappling, in fact - for me in particular with the last two lines - but that can be so true of these sorts of situations where we trust, know and feel ahead of what our brains eventually catch up to decipher and understand. You are the master at creating atmosphere and pulling your readers right into the centre of whatever you express. BEAUTIFUL new biog pic, too! So youthful and optimistic! May 2006 bring you renewed health, happiness and vigour in all aspects of your life, now you have enjoyed peace and recuperation. LOL Kate xx

This is most intriguing and somehow powerfully meaningful and symbolic at the same time. Thank you for sharing this offering, Janet. Love and peace.

I cannot pretend to fully understand this because it is such a personal write but I recognise good writing when I see it. You have expressed so vividly that even in my lack of understanding, I felt it.
Great work

I agree with everyone...this is an intriguing and somewhat mysterious poem....or maybe I mean "mystical" vs. mysterious. Interesting imagery too!

a most intriguing dream ... perhaps the pilot is disguised as your oversoul ... an excellent poem!

The depth of the dream with a dark vadar character and a child who had no fear but embraced this pilot of your dreams, a man of great power and attraction, who carried you into new vistas of imagination. Nicely done.

Janet! A fabulous poetic exploration of the Spirit who pursues us and always meet us in our need, even when we have turned elsewhere for relief or revelation. Awe-some and substantial. Intriguing, too, in possible layered meaning. Will be back to savor a second reading fresh. Dawn
