A significant dream

A significant dream
 
Who is God hiding from in this masquerade?
From us, but who are we?  We seem to be
 
God on the roam, detached from the Source.
It’s all a pretense, a puppet show,
 
a storybook read to drum up romance
and valor, heartache and grief;
 
playthings to imitate the Real;
to stir up a child’s wonder. 
 
O child of God!  Christ the King,
the Avatars and Saints,
 
Sadgurus and Perfect Ones –
their stories, parables, examples and games
 
hint at and further hide the wordless Truth. 
Throughout the green countryside
 
the white horse roams in the illusion
and exhilaration of freedom
 
but then dutifully returns each evening
to the quiet, settled comfort of His stable.
 
O child of God, existence (said Meher)
is a significant dream pointing to the One Reality.
