Late night and early morning dreams
Deal gently with my dreams, God,
lest in their crushing, You crush my heart
and my love for you is broken.
Deal gently with my fears, Lord,
Lest I cling in fear to my dream
and miss your dream for me.
Deal gently with my dream for you,
lest you should miss my desire
to see my dreams fulfilled in you.
Gently we deal, each with the other adjusting as both dreams merge into one.
One wish, one dream, one prayer indistinguishable,
The Holy Life of surprise and wonder.
