Dreamer

Dreamer
Dreamer

“A dreamer or a fool you are
To live your life that way.”
Scoffers laugh and scowl at me
But I fret not today

Silent and invisible
Hidden from their eyes
Revealed He is to eyes of faith
That faithless ones despise

My ways may seem crazy
My actions without care
My choices too illogical
To a narrowed glare

But I live for an unseen King
He bids me live for him
To do what He commands
And to walk a path yet dim

To those who question holy things
And cross-examine all
To those who see unseeing
And God not over all

Earthly eyes serve not their master
When the Master is the goal
I see today a risen King
He walks now in my soul

Dream, dream you also
The impossible is near
Waiting for a seer bold
To do what others fear

To walk forbidden pathways
To break down gates of steel
To lightly step with joy and peace
Where the hopeful kneel

There His living dreams approach
And spirit eyes awake
Replacing empty striving
To thrive for His Name’s sake

Widely, widely goes the way
For those with eyes yet blind
Narrowly, narrowly follow me
A dreamer’s hope to find

For certainly His dreams are real
And surely as the day
They become reality
With Dawn’s first golden ray

“Dreamer, Dreamer!” Cry they me
In a mocking scorn
But I would welcome all their hate
To see another dreamer born

So dreaming on my way I’ll go
Walking paths unseen
With others treading lightly on
A bright, yet hidden sheen
