Daydreaming<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have a Daydream.<\/p>\n

I am Free
\nof this Aging Body. . .<\/p>\n

Just for an Hour or Two.<\/p>\n

A Mini-Vacation,
\na Round Trip \u2028Through The Veil to
\nThe Light of The Other Side,
\nWhere the Waft of Every Breeze
\nIs Euphoric With
\nA Love That Dazzles.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll Be Returning to
\nThe Weight of Incarnation,
\nBut for Now
\nI\u2019ve Been Invited to
\nA Homecoming. . .<\/p>\n

Just for an Hour or Two.<\/p>\n

I Find Myself
\nSeated In the Front Row
\nof a Heavenly Hangout
\nCalled the Ascended Masters
\nComedy Club.<\/p>\n

Onstage
\na Single Microphone
\nIn a Spotlight,<\/p>\n

an Earthly Homage to
\nThe Guests of Honor,<\/p>\n

Gilda Radner and
\nRobin Williams.<\/p>\n

And Now. . .
\nDrumroll and
\nGuitar Riff. . .<\/p>\n

The Man
\nWho Turned Water Into Wine,<\/p>\n

Our Master of Ceremonies,<\/p>\n

Jesus of Nazareth.<\/p>\n

I can Daydream
\ncan\u2019t I?<\/p>\n
