Peace settles early<\/p>\n
A true blanket which covers everything<\/p>\n
Even after vividly dreaming<\/p>\n
Why always the dreaming<\/p>\n
In color and with full body purpose<\/p>\n
My heart and my mind go to sleep from this place<\/p>\n
And I wake up in my dreams<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Crossing over in my waking life are their memories<\/p>\n
I have access to two different realities<\/p>\n
The same input data but a much different take<\/p>\n
On who and what my role is in this place<\/p>\n
A habit I imagine formed from childhood<\/p>\n
Funny how God shapes you<\/p>\n
Into something no one else can be<\/p>\n
Taking that which would have taken you out<\/p>\n
And turning it into the answer to “consecrate me”<\/p>\n
How, at so young<\/p>\n
Who gave me the desire for perfection<\/p>\n
Not the veneer<\/p>\n
The real desire to exist with the Holy<\/p>\n
I failed year after year after year<\/p>\n
And these memories, the waking life just twisted<\/p>\n
Is another pattern to follow<\/p>\n
Expressing hidden emotions<\/p>\n
And so, my subconscious forms new memories<\/p>\n
I have access to in my waking life<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No where to run and no where to hide<\/p>\n
I feel all my filth<\/p>\n
And know I feel all my hope<\/p>\n
And I know I am not alone<\/p>\n
And I know peace settles early<\/p>\n
God is gracious<\/p>\n
And His mercies are new every morning<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
