Vision Exercises Poem by Kimberly Burnham

Wake from the dream
where you are falling
immobilized
open your eyes
to the green world
where trees grow and shade
the people who plant them
believing in a better world
for the children
Wake from the dream
open your mind to neighbors
really see who they are
the ways you are the same
strengths you can learn
Wake from the dream
in the night when insights come
and beauty is just beneath the dark surface
sleep relaxed recovering
open your heart in the morning
visualize the day
transformations
one person can make
Wake from the dream
to places beyond
right and wrong
shades of gray
where you can give everyone
benefit of the doubt
see what is beneath the surface
Wake to the dream
of home
where you are possible
