A Dream Thru A Door Of Perception
A Most Amazing Dream
I have the legs of a mule deer
as I run up the dry shrub mountain
so effortlessly
I am a small bolt of lightening
and I fly into the pupil of a coyote's eye
coming out splashing into a pure azure
blue pool of mountain spring water
I now find myself seated round a big table
with many people dressed in ethnic clothes
everyone is speaking a different language
I seem somehow to understand everyone perfectly well
as all the languages seem to meld into one
a grand time with no arguments to be heard
I look up from this great table of babble
to confront my greatest fear
as a killer tornado
heads our way a certain death for me
A voice inside tells me
to have no fear, be still
and take the position of meditation
for the storm and all it's terror
will pass harmlessly thru you
and so I do with nowhere to hide
as the tornado bears down on me
everything caught up in it's irresistable winds of fury
is a projectile of death
but I remain calmly still
as it's swirling fury passes without resistance thru me
I am alive.
