I Had A Dream

Wendy  Slee

I Had A Dream

I had a dream,
A dream so profound
That written words could not express it,
Only tears;
No verbal language could convey it,
Only visions.
This dream spoke in music, it played out in light,
It flickered and danced in emotional tremors
That originated from a source beyond the heart.

It manifested within me but not of me
And hovered freely beyond me.
Elusive, I tried to grasp its full meaning,
But could only see it when I closed my eyes,
I could only feel it, when I let it go.
The dream had wings and I felt
The rush of air as it lifted me.

We were as we were meant to be –
Released from the heavy chains of our humanity,
Risen above the petty materialism and power struggles
That we once thought defined us.
We had relinquished the ironies of our need for separation from others
That wrestled constantly with our deepest yearning for belonging and unity,
We had softened into our connection with the Earth
And felt her heartbeat as our own,
We had begun to tread more tenderly upon the face of
The one who sustains us,
And remembered again,
To honour the beauty that she held up in her mirror.
Our recognition grew in the knowing that what we saw in our world
Was but a reflection of what we held inside,
Of Who we truly are,
And that the choice between fear and love was our very own,
Not the whim of a distant God.

In this moment, we had grown wings,
And through the very lightness of our awakening….
We had reached beyond our human limitations
And soared free.

    Wendy!!!! This is just awesome! You rock girl! Breathtaking art and words. Well done!

  • Wendy Slee replied

    thank you so much dear Angel….I have to say that creating this piece was like giving birth – hours of labour, but passion with the pain, and love as my intent…..lol
    and some days I think I am so full of crap, but hey! I have to express my self some way! (smiles)

    an interesting/different technique …. somewhat a “photographic-wash” ... not sure how this was done, but in this case it works. Nice one Wendy … ATB and TC4N, +fav

  • Wendy Slee replied

    Hi Cm…..thank you so much…it was done with layers and layers…..many elements including clouds and water to give the effects of curtains…..(welll hopefully)..... I agree it does have a “wash” feel to it, but it was really more what I would describe as a flying blind, trial and error kind of thing….lol
    I appreciate your comments (smiles)

    Wendy,
    You inspire me and can lift the spirits of those fortunate to know you. Your imagery reflects your poetic and delicate soul yearning for a global awareness that brutality can not be tolerated. Your poignant words revealin your very sensitive and extraordinary perception that does not allow you to turn away from the massive injustice that pollutes our minds and souls. Sensitive souls need to support one another in a collective effort to cope with the harsh realities of a world that is numb and prefers to look away from what your dream represents, a wish for a kinder world populated by humans that can go beyond their limitations to create a new found freedom that allows us to grow “wings” and “soar free” once again. What a beautiful thought from an elegant and eloquent lady!

  • Wendy Slee replied

    Julie!!! Thank you so much…!!
    I am truly humbled by your wonderful comments….. wow! AND I am also grateful to have someone recognize the meaning behind what I/my creativity attempts to express….and that makes me really happy. (smiles)
