Dreaming of God
”And he dreamed that there was a ladder[b] set up on the earth, the top of it reaching to heaven; and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.” Genesis 28: 12
I enter a thin space,
alone, in my home,
alone, except for God.
In my reverie, I picture
angels climbing up and down:
Jacob’s dream ladder.
God’s omnipresence knows
my every thought
before I receive it;
for He is always within me.
I cannot live solely by human nature;
the Holy Spirit offers me
eternal life, eternal salvation.
I live among the peoples of the world;
yet my disappointment and fretfulness
I am assuaged by the knowledge
that when by body returns to the earth,
my soul will be reaped by God
into eternal being and deliverance.
My dream of God is absolute!
