I Dream a World
I dream a world, a world dreams me — what are
we but our dreams? They’re who we are at night,
before our dreamworlds vanish in the glare
of the sun. I dream a world born in light,
a world radiant with morning, naked, visible
to all, and beautiful, and bright
with its burning. I dream a world whose business
is to be, and to blaze like the star
of Bethlehem. I dream the world that is.
