“Living the Dream” by Joshua Marx
The lonely seed sits in the abandoned, desolate field.
Rotting, withering, wasting away.
All it takes is a little sprinkle of sunshine to turn that seed into a beautiful effervescent flower.
The presence of a single blooming dandelion can inspire one to make a wish that ushers in the bright new day.
Hope is an exceptionally resilient power.
With the pure innocence of child’s play.
Well, your existence is the hope that makes me believe.
Your smile is the sunshine that nurtures and energizes my seed.
I’m living the dream.
Here at home. And, across the sea.
Battles rage.
The innocent continue to bleed.
Unending wars.
Forever gore.
The world continues to get it all wrong.
Religious strife.
The eternal curse.
What matters is, every life.
From birth, we all have the same worth.
I’ll never understand why the color of anyone’s skin ever mattered.
Just when we think we’re making progress and getting close to the top.
Someone. Something. Knocks over the ladder.
In a world that is addicted to hate.
Only love can set you free.
Your touch softens me.
Like the sand when it is touched by the waves of the sea.
I’m living the dream.
Trauma and anger overwhelm my bones.
Invisible Enemy makes it so that I am not even safe at home.
Battered, shattered confidence. Leaves me in doubt.
Bullying and abuse leave a bitter, sour taste in my mouth.
But your tender words sweeten all of me.
Like Honey does for the Bee.
I’m living the dream.
Every time I see your face.
The world becomes a perfect place.
Every time you speak.
The sound of your voice creates my Amazing Grace.
That’s what love is all about.
Your spirited aura lifts me up.
You make me fly past every gloomy cloud.
You are all I need, to know that God does exist.
I can only imagine Heaven feeling anywhere near as good as this.
Every day my dreams come true.
Because, I know that I’ll always have you.
Love is destiny.
It is never wrong.
It’s always as it seems.
I’m living the dream.
