The Lord's Prayer


I wrote this after reading the speech given by Martin Luther King Jr, and considered the notion of what we might consider another metaphor for God's kingdom might be.

Our Father, dreamer of the universe, speaker of the dream,
May your name and dreams be respected above all
May all your dreams for all of creation come real
Grant us what we need to live in the rhythm of your dreaming
ave mercy on us and free us from our bondage as we do the same for others
Lead us not into deluded dreams of our hearts desires
And deliver us from our nightmares that bind us
For the dreaming, the sustaining love and the reality of hope are yours
Now and forever

Amen
