When?


Jesus said to the disciples, "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you." John 16:12-15

When?

I had a dream last night woke
hoping that I was invited to dance dust
rising on the pow wow grounds shrill song
spinning for lips young and old
ancient with the old hurts born anew
with hopes flying for my young.

I had a dream that courage pulsed fearless
joy for a new beginning for an old dance songs
on lips morning light revealing creation
opening a day with an of God imprint on my heart.

I had a dream that a complete people free
of crutches and addictions baggage off loaded
symptoms eradicated by radical love streams
of clear water renewing fleshing out hidden
skin, tender places no longer.

I had a dream and heard you dreaming and God
dreamed a people free songs rising on our lips
morning no longer mourning light no longer shadow
day full of spirit renewed, reconciled dancing
on our sacred ground where God is found.
