    Poem Commentary

    LOVE is Grand,  LOVE  is  Great,  LOVE  is  Complete!

    AWAKEN TO LOVE
    I  had  a  bad  dream  last  night
    I dreamt  life  without  love,
    What  a  disturbing  sight
    This  nightmarish  vision  of  fright
    Thank  GOD  for  Love
    Thank  GOD  for  Light
    Thank  goodness  for  the  light   love  brings
    Love  has  brought  me  past  the  beginning
    Love  has  made  me  appreciate  its  ending
    Learning  to  Love  Unselfishly
    Illuminating  and  Embracing  blemishes
    In  Myself,  Finding  GOD  by  myself
    Or  better  yet  being  found  by  Love  in  itself
    Being  quite  naked  in  evil  replete
    I  am  so  glad  Love  found  me
    Casting  light  that  burned  away  a  heart’s  darkness
    Now  basking  in  the  light  of  day  and  loving  it
    Rising  to  shine  of  love  promised
    Although  tomorrow’s  day  is  not   promised
    Love  promises  to  stay   for  as   long  as  long
    Graciousness  abounds
    Characterized  by  smiles  for  miles   around
    In  this  easy  gesture,  is  my  treasure
    To  make  Love  to  Love  would  be  a  pleasure
    Of  which  is  a  daily  measure
    In  Dosages   of   Gratitude
    Is  My  Plan  for  Love
    To  My  Last  Breath  is   Breathed
    In  Love  I  Hope  to  Sleep  Lastingly
    Where  the  nights’ slumber  is  just  a  nap
    Awakening  to the  continuity  that  is
    Love’s  Everlasting  Light!
    I  had  a  bad  dream  last  night
    I dreamt  life  without  love,
    What  a  disturbing  sight
    This  nightmarish  vision  of  fright
    Thank  GOD  for  Love
    Thank  GOD  for  Light
    Thank  goodness  for  the  light   love  brings

    Love  has  brought  me  past  the  beginning
    Love  has  made  me  appreciate  its  ending
    Learning  to  Love  Unselfishly

    In  Myself,  Finding  GOD  by  myself
    Or  better  yet  being  found  by  Love  in  itself

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
