    ~ * ~   Dream Dancing   ~ * ~

  One must forgive their enemies, according to Jesus.
     What about the-one-you-became-one-with?
  You met, you bonded, you intertwined; and you said, "God dost love us."
     You danced in a dream, hand in hand, beside
  the-one-you-became-one-with.

  When tribulations come, two standing together are better than one.
     Yet, when troubles come, many couples are divided,
  And evil has taken over  --  evil seems to have won.
     Separated and apart, the thoughts of each, are one-sided.

  The dance is forgotten. The dream has faded.
     The tempter came and took away thy bliss.
  And all your hopes and dreams have become jaded.
     Completeness and wholeness; peace and love are what you miss.

  Searching for blame, you look at each other,
     Not acknowledging that each of you has failed.
  In your grief and confusion, it is love that you smother;
     Once again, it is evil which has prevailed.

  Problems will come, and must be solved.
     You cannot do it alone, - - Jesus is the answer.
  He will awaken the dreams once dissolved,
     And again the one shall say to the one - -
          "You are my soul dancer."
