I dreamed…
that I was standing under a tree
and my Dad fell into my arms
like a leaf
And when I turned the leaf over
in my palms,
it became an encumbering star
I could hear the echoes of the universe
laughing along with my jubilation
that my Dad was returned to me
I just battled all of eternity
doing the things I had to do
against an eternal darkness
that endeavoured to have me undone
For this enchanting moment,
could I have traded everything else that I loved?
I know how my aspiration has been made the executioner of my love
And even my loves have been pitted against each other
like gladiators, that I must take great pains to restrain from hurting each other
Must I always have such a fate, so replete with ignominy
that every collateral damage must only be self-inflicted (on me)?
Those partisans (politicians) who want to gain from my predicament
should only be besieged with my hate
Do you think I do not love my Mother?
Or everybody else that I love?
I am only God
who is waiting patiently for the universe
to contract to the point of Paradise
where I can stake a claim to all I love
free of the never-ending poison of the evil hijacking tormentor
