Strange Dreams

June 30, 2011

These strange dreams that come to me in sleep

Intent to disturb tranquillity and rest,

Are they come as one's own lessoners to teach

Or lower forces sent the soul to test.

Weird associations in my life,

Unknown to outward self, unseen

And yet they are not foreign to my thought.

From these nightly visions can I glean

Some knowledge of the subtle worlds behind

The disconnected images that pass

As occult threads that linger and return

Or fleeting images in a dust-stained glass.

Late will I know when my souls shall stand

Transfigured, invincible in that new land.
