In Dreams is dedicated to my father, Josh Lieberman.
In Dreams is a piece about loss, redemption, forgiveness, and the beauty of the human spirit.
It is a piece about my dad.
It is also a piece about dreams.
Lyrics:
I am the one who’s waiting
in fog of dreams
Come find me
Amor Fati
Eternally
Gentle ease turned violently
within me
If there was one question
That stretched for all of time
Always unanswered
This unknowing that defines me
The edges fade into
deepening memories true
Slow unreeling
Time’s revealing you
Aloud you hear
The fear that brings you near and deeper
Mining history, hoping I see
Shimmering in the night sky
the blue of your eyes, boundless and wise
Gone at sunrise, as I am waking
Come find me in fog of dreams
All’s as it seems in this place
where violence cannot enter
At last in my dreams I find you
waiting with patient grace
You say: all this pain you’ve been holding
Cannot displace
The love instilled in you from youngest age
Now with this last breath I task you:
Find beauty in the flames
I am blind, I can see
I am lost, I am free
I am weightless debris
I’ve rid my unease
I’m my own offering
I’ve forgiven my sins
I will always remain
I am the beauty in the flames
