gregorrr - An Imaginal Afternoon

One day last week I was reading the news
Feeling sad to hear the world singing the blues
The sun shining in through my window
Didn't notice though cuz I was feeling so low

Then an Image appeared to me out of the blue
I rubbed my eyes and said 'How do you do?'
They jumped right through the computer screen
From words about war, to being with me

They looked right at me, and to my surprise
I could feel their love for me with nothing to hide
So beautiful to me, but I was afraid
If I believed they were real that's a dangerous faith

So I turned away, thinking it's not cool
To love in a way you don't learn in school
And it's weird, this is just in my mind
Better get my head straight, leave it behind

But even still, I didn't want to say bye
Mysterious to me, I didn't want to deny
Rooted in the pain of the world and yet
Pouring love in my heart that I couldn't forget

I got up and went outside for a walk
To clear my head and hear the birdies talk
I sat on a bench underneath a tree
And closed my eyes to take in the breeze

My new friend returned and gave me a smile
Still a bit unsure but we could chill for a while
Feel my body and my heart - they're all good
Don't want to live my life inside a should

So we hang, and I start to get a good feel
For what seems like a different kinda real
Feels like they come from a whole other world
With some kinda magic they're about to unfurl

I doubt again their realness and take a step back
Losing trust in the trust I had began to stack
Then I wonder do they really need to be real
For them to teach me something my soul needs to feel?

I felt their love again, and took it in
Strange yet familiar, brand new yet again
Drank it in for a moment but then I retract
I kept pulling away from their loving act

Didn't know what to do, my mind was a mess
Pulled back and forth, feeling distressed
Then an elder appeared in front of my mind
Her long red hair a glorious shine

Without a word she brought me back
To a night long ago two thousand years in fact
A beautiful man asked us to stay
And remain with him in the garden of Gethsemane

Gethsemane
Gethsemane

Inspired by the beauty of his request
I returned to the image to do my best
To trust I could stay with them and feel their love
Even though it felt so dang vulnerable

Then I realized why I kept running away
I was afraid they'd leave me, I was scared to stay
Broke my heart to know how much of my life
Spent running from love, like it was a knife

So I laid back and bathed in their loving gaze
Like a lover or a mother or entire race
Feeling anythings possible, ever-expanding
Beyond all words being loved with abandon

I opened my eyes and took in the scene
The grass, the trees, all the beautiful green
The whole world had an extra special glow
A dreaming reality, like a magic show

I got up and walked home, feeling alive
Smiling at each person as they walked by
Seeing them with the loving eyes of my friend
And this is how this story ends

They're with me now as I tell this tale
Their smile my smile, I know it well
Maybe you think it's crazy, I'd understand
But I dare you to feel loved in ways you think you can't
Ugh!
