A Handbook For Dreaming Valentine

1. What if our dreams are as determinative

And as full of promises as our waking life

2. What if the dream is our true home

We steal back to faithfully every night

To experience some confusing mystery

Or irrational misadventure that desperately

Seems to be trying to tell us

We are more than we've imagined

3. What if in our waking lives

We spent some time in concentrated

Willful dreaming of our own

Leaving our little selves behind

In an empty room or crowded bus

Now that we've proven we can fly

4. What if the dream can be prepared

Ahead of time so when we get there

We'll have something like a table to receive

What some have called the bread and wine

5. What if we build our own Rosetta stone

Letter by letter dream by dream

And wake to find our Buddha mind
