I went to bed and awoke 20ty years into the past with memory intact I hopped out of bed shook myself like an animal ruffles his fur to shake out the dust The dream over I shook out all my sins recorded my mistakes took a deep sign of relief thanking God for the deep insights Now at last I knew how to conduct my life to the right path But what about my grandchildren whom I left behind in the dream? Before, I went into the unknown veiled Now, Unveiled I can direct my family Oh this burden in greater than my past transgressions For in my dream Others had found themselves.
Irwin R. Shaw - August 30th 1986
Into the Unknown
I went to bed
and awoke 20ty years
into the past
with memory intact
I hopped out of bed
shook myself
like an animal
ruffles his fur
to shake out the dust
The dream over
I shook out all my sins
recorded my mistakes
took a deep sign of relief
thanking God for the deep insights
Now at last
I knew
how to conduct my life to the right path
But what about my grandchildren
whom I left behind in the dream?
Before,
I went into the unknown
veiled
Now,
Unveiled
I can direct my family
Oh this burden in greater
than my past transgressions
For in my dream
Others
had found themselves.
