Last night I dreamt that I could fly, <br />effortlessly, so weightless and free. <br />My spirit rose and touched the sky <br />and although alone I did not feel lonely, <br />for I felt connected to all I passed by <br />and felt everything connected to me. <br /> <br />I surveyed the earth from a great height, <br />the beauty below was amazing to see. <br />It stretched far and wide in my sight <br />showing nature's wondrous scenery, <br />illuminated by the moon's bright light <br />and the stars that twinkled all around me. <br /> <br />Rivers wound through forests of trees, <br />through patchworks of fields to the sea. <br />Cascading waterfalls in mountain ranges <br />splashing to the ground dramatically. <br />I could feel the slightest hint of a breeze <br />but my destination was not clear to me. <br /> <br />So I flew on, never tiring of the views, <br />flying over the homes of many a family, <br />feeling their happiness and their blues, <br />I felt so many emotions rising up at me. <br />Babies being born bringing joyful news, <br />the dead, their souls rising - set free. <br /> <br />Suddenly I knew my journey was ending, <br />the destination was knowledge it brought to me. <br />Last night the universe had been my awakening, <br />for as I slept, it had taught with such clarity <br />that everything in the universe is interconnecting, <br />I am the universe and the universe is me.<br /><br />Jacqueline Nash<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/everything-is-interconnected/
