'I Dreamt of Darkness Wide Awake'
I dreamt of darkness wide awake, Cleary-eyed but feeling strangely, Darkened sea – what down there waits me? To current-wild water I make. Sinking I sunk deep into deep, Resting where in common we rest, Grisly mist gray upon me pressed, And midnight blue; a hellish keep. I: centerpiece ‘tween felled and fore. Phantoms floating, foaming red, Had been, never been; in my head. Lifeless living define me more. Now seest light in the meanest dark; Gazing sun beams upon me gazed, I drank His life and stood amazed; I, His workmanship, am living art. A poem who speaks the Spirit of Thee: You are in me and I of Thou; Life is here forever and now. All else fades, not I: This is Me.
