Dreamtime Sea

Dreamtime Sea

A wise man once said

Humanity is a vast ocean

If a few drops are dirty

it doesn't spoil

the whole sea

There are stormy waters

and water that flows

very, very calm

on the dreamtime sea

Ideas, ideas

swim all around

in our heads

Many dream of do's and dont's

Others dream

of a better humanity

Still others

fret and toss nervously

in their sleep

It's not where we are right now

that tells the tale

but the direction

the water is headed

that is important to see

Look around, look around

You and I cannot be

the only two good people

in the dreamtime sea

The river's are rising

The river's are rising

We cannot stop it

even if we wanted to

It's not the bad ones

to look for

but the kindness

of people every day

that defines humanity

We all are part of a great

dreamtime sea asleep

There are many

who are wise and kind

flowing gently in their slumber

while others toss and tumble

like stormy waves

breaking white foam

on the moon light beach

Dread not

the long journey, my friend

Who wakes from slumber

is frightened no more

by the dreamtime sea
