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.
