A World of Dreams and Healing

A World of Dreams and Healing

A Poem by Arthur Weil

There are times when giants kneel

and meditate and pray

for fright or guidance

We are not gods

There is space and the unending universe

Something far greater which supersedes all mankind

 

It’s time to show our truth

Our feelings hurt

Often unaware of what’s about

Shootings, killings, war, and hate

Divorce and accidents

Unending �" the forces beyond our control

 

So we ask for inner guidance

Forgiveness for our wrongdoings

“Give me the strength to cope,

to wisely reason, to calm an inner spirit, for peace.

God, there are so many things we have to maintain

like an albatross around us”

 

What do I truly, really want

today, tomorrow, or next year?

To see my offspring happy and prosperous

To learn to become a better person, a better traveler

To be creative, yet not overuse the golden mean

With both feet on the ground

 

Now late

one thought fizzles into the next

Like clouds in the sky changing forms

I must leave this

Go elsewhere,

Settle and observe

 

I wait, my eyelids heavy

as if alcohol or sleeping pill has become my master

For now and after

We are not omnipotent eternal powers

We fade away, just like sundown

into a world of dreams and healing
