I am A dream

I am A dream
I am A dream waiting to manifest; 
fearfully knocking on The door(ego) to let me out
this crowded and vacant room; 
shamelessly confined and filled with gloom.
The door imprisoned me into a silenced existence, 
proud of the masks hung over it
seemingly oblivious of their mockery; 
shut out off the sun 
My limbs are limp, my muscles ache, I need to spread my wings and feel the cool breeze beneath; 
scatter myself and let the warm summer air carry me like a hair feather to the earth.
Beyond this paralysing firewall (doubt), my destiny lies; if only my hand didn't tremble when reaching for it.
Like the unburning tree before Moses, 
the fire scorches to refine;
but my eyes quiver to even its sight
…
In my daze, as if by some greater will and deeper need, 
I am thrust forward in, to The wall-
it doesn't hurt as I'd imagined, but warm and liberating, joyful and enlivening
I AM in the torch that burns within, 
that’s been keeping me alive,that spurred me on, 
that kept me grounded to this holy land, and flattered my true self to my unconscious existence
I remove my sandals, bow in victory and befriend The wall, to live the life from the dream.
