Last night, I dreamed,I was in a room, and could not see
Questions were asked my answers were three.
Someone said just waitothers must know of your quest their answers return its
for the best.
Someone said let him enterI could not, there was something barring my way, then
someone said knock and I grasped the ring.
I lifted to the wall and then let it fallan answer returned oflet him enter our
hall.
I could not see, it was darkand lonely out there and some one said follow your
guide you have nothing to fear, I walked in that darkness for many a mile, or so
it seemed, each step courage to take this must be the end of my dream.
Yet I traveled on toward I knew not each step followed the other with questions
asked , and answers given by another,I was taught to walk as you should given
the road I had started on and brought to place where I made promises upon.
I was given a Apron by which to labor with yet I was told never to place Moral
stains on it.
Than they showed me their tools and showed me how to use them to a builders use
a place where my soul my dream to send some where along the road my eyes become
unheeded that I should see what so long was in a darkness hooded.
My dream was so strange that I knew I saw a truth, that we ask for light so we
as men shall find the vineyards truth.
