Strangers in My Strange Dreams

Some nights strange dreams
Filled with and feeling like
Deja vu, reliving the past
Appear, or do they arise?
Unanswered questions appear,
Needing their answers still.

These dreams often make
Me feel alone, on my own
Since many traditions
Are now dead in this world
And old assigned roles
No longer apply.

Strangers in tonight’s dreams
Feel like they’re known to me.
Have lifetimes mingled or merged?
If that’s what’s happening,
Where is the energy and comfort
Of my mentor from each lifetime?

I want to receive answers
And advice about the
Changing, warming earth.
Will this lifetime end
During the final days
When Earth is still habitable?

Or will Earth’s warming
Seem to take much longer,
At least to those who only
Know or believe in time
As measured on this planet.
Will I still be here to care?
