I had a dream
That I was riding a silver fox
Into a meadow
Where a dark blue pond
Came out of the ground
Right in the middle of it
Like the pupil of an eye
Not a ripple was moving in the blue water
A stillness was in the air
A calming of nature
The silver fox stopped in front of the pond
I dismounted
And thanked him for the ride
He told me he was my spirit guide
And he’ll be there whenever I needed him
I bowed to him
And faced the pond
I walked on the water without hesitating
And sat down in the middle of the pupil
I started to meditate
And soon
I floated up above the pond
Slowly ascending upwards with each breath I took
I looked down
And saw the eye from above….
From up there
It looked sad
A tear started to leak from it
It broke my heart
The earth was in pain
And I could see it
She was crying to me
Asking me for help…
I didn’t know what to do…
I kept floating further and further away from her
Up past the clouds
Past the moon
He looked a bit insane to me
But I guess that’s how he’s alway been
So I didn’t stop and say hi
I floated past the sun
A nice tan spread over my skin
I closed my eyes
As I flew by
I breathed in the stars
And exhaled star dust
‘Is this cannibalism?’
I asked myself
Then it hit me
It was a crazy high
And my spirit traveled on a light particle
to a different time
A time before the earth cried
And man stood upright
Before we cut down all the trees
And tilled all the soil
Before the wars were fought
And earth was trampled in the name of man’s greatness
Before the bombs were dropped
And the factories poisoned the air
What a beautiful time it was
I looked down
And I could see it
The meadow
And the pond
I floated down to it
But in this time
In the middle of it
There was a heart resting on a log
I reached down
And picked it up
It was beating in my hand
I felt it pulsing
Thump
Thump
Thump
Thump
Thump
I took out my knife
And cut an opening in my chest
taking out my human heart
I sat it on the log
And then I took the heart of the earth
And put it in my chest
I zipped up the hole
And smiled
The earth’s heart during this time was full of love and joy
And I couldn’t help it…
I had to dance.
