I Woke Up Dreaming

I woke up dreaming

and knew the truth 

had been lying

that the differences 

they sell you and I

are an illusion 

that minutes are a 

false measure of 

the incalculable

that the answers worth seeking 

are found in silence 

not rhetoric 

and if I could just 

breathe and step back

I would see destiny 

flowing easily by

carrying all things 

to their proper place.
