Frank Macchia - Dreaminiscence

I remember it so well
A dream within a dream
Layer upon layer of sweet emotion
A soft blanket of warmth cradling me
We stood on the beach as dusk turned to night
My mother, father and me
Staring out to the ocean
Listening to it breathe as the waves pulled to and fro
Content in our silence we held hands then strolled
Moonlight gently glistened on the shimmering waves
A few lone seagulls wailed to a swiftly deepening sky
From a distance we saw it slowly come into view
We stopped, incredulous,
A hulking object breached the sea, causing a surge and roar
We held our breath as the massive thing emerged, leaving an immense displacing wake
Some kind of whale, I thought, but not like any I’d ever seen
It gave off a luminescence that was mystical in nature
We stared in awe as it emerged
But it didn’t fall back to the water
Instead it floated upward like a gigantic bird without wings
Rising higher and higher and higher
We gasped in disbelief as it soared
It’s light glowed and filled the sky with wonder, awe, beauty and grace
“It’s flying, it’s really flying. I didn’t know whales could fly”, I said
A pause that seemed infinite was suddenly broken by my father’s response:
“Oh yes, whales can fly. But only on rare occasions when the world needs healing”
As we gazed at the ever diminishing whale, reaching up to the stars I found myself smiling.
This is what hope looks like, I thought.
If only we could see this together...
