Converted to Love: A Valentine’s Day Dream Poem
Jewish Girl Takes Communion
God says I can. So I do.
“The wafer is the body
Of love. The wine
Its desire.” I eat
This body. I drink
This blood. My heart
Is thus converted.

So glad you enjoyed it, Riva! Don’t forget, daydreams work as poems, too! Happy writing … and dreaming xoxo
Hi Tzivia,
I love this poem, thank you….it is everything I love about poetry and dreaming: unusual, simply tender and complexly powerful. At the Natural Spirituality conference I went to last weekend, I had the opportunity to write a French pantoum based on a dream and visualization I had. Wow. Dreams and poetry together, it doesn’t get any better than that.
Lovely dreaming,
Donna
Thank you, Donna! If you come to IASD this June I hope you’ll attend my Dream Poetry workshop!
