Silent footsteps entered my night dreams,
You crept into my mind.
There was no gold strewn before Your seat
no throne prepared.

I had hoped You would come close
God of the poor
to be captured as my very own.

All my feelings, my actions
were, in each moment of the dream
brimming with confidence.

But breaking the dream
You left, and I didn’t see You again.

And now
in each vibrated moment
day and night

I try to linger in the memory of that dream.
