Believe
She found herself in a place she didn't know
Picking a
flower for a child that did not exist
Giving her love to a man that was
surreal
Waking from a dream, that she adored
She slept and woke somewhere
With God sitting beside
her
He never looked at her but gazed
At the sky, the birds, the
trees
She woke and wondered what he meant to say
She went outside and was lost to herself
In the garden
beside her home
She didn't recognize the grass beneath her feet
Or
the cloud in the sky
Kneeling she wept for her loss
For the understanding she
didn't have
She felt the ground so solid
She felt unreal and
starting to unravil
The tears ran down from closed eyes
When something cold
touched her arm
When something soft touched her hand
Breaking the
illusion she could not see
Slowly her eyes opened to see
The puppy looking with wistful
eyes
A child sitting and holding a flower for her
And heard a voice
from a dream of God saying,
Believe.
