The Inward Robe Poem by Gerry Legister

I can see the dreams you are longing to own,
They look like they are far away in another realm,
But they can easily be the ones closest to home,
Burning in your heart with the brightest flame.

Looking for an audience; but your stage is bare
The curtains that came down was in the last act,
Unveiling again the inward choices standing there,
Whispering into your dreams the faith to react.

Time may choose to echo by pain with patience,
A change of your circumstance for prosperity,
And make the inward eye see that secret place,
Where your dream and vision becomes a reality.

We wear a robe that has been turned inside out,
Garments proudly shown is not the one we own,
Actually covering the house of a beautiful retreat,
Veil in the soul a splendid emblem of our dream.

And only shadows remain with impenetrable walls,
Victory is assured if we trust in faith and love,
We shall wear that inward robe to cover the flaws,
And see our dreams open to enter the gates above.

The shadows will mark where the roads has diverged,
You look for treasures, but opportunity is a proverb,
The road you least expect is the one to first emerged,
Wearing a garment that is veiled by the inward robe.
