The Merge

Awakening to the universal...

Sleep releases me
from the dream world
and into this world,
where dreams manifest
with an unconscious urgency
to merge the infinite faces
across all of reality.

The deeper I dive
into that mystical space
between waking
and spiritual awakening,
the more I can feel
the breeze enter my lungs,
revitalizing the blood
as it flows through my body.

The prophet says,
Love wants us clean of resentment.
Then comes the rain
with a billion tiny hands
helping me to grow.
