Poem by W. Brother Harley Johnson, which I believe you will like. W.B. Harley is a Past Master of Koochiching Lodge #270 at International Falls, Minnesota. Brother Harley is also a Past Grand Lodge District Representative for District #1 of the Grand Lodge of Minnesota
Last night, I dreamed,
I was in a room, and could not see
Questions were asked
my answers were three
Someone said just wait
others must know of your quest
their answers return
its for the best
Someone said let him enter
I could not, there was something
barring my way, then someone
said knock and I grasped the ring
I lifted to the wall and then
let it fall
an answer returned of
let him enter our hall
I could not see, it was dark
and lonely out there
and some one said follow your guide
you have nothing to fear,
I walked in that darkness
for many a mile, or so it seemed,
each step courage to take
this must be the end of my dream.
Yet I traveled on toward I knew not
each step followed the other
with questions asked , and answers
given by another,
I was taught to walk as you should
given the road I had started on
and brought to place where
I made promises upon.
I was given a Apron
by which to labor with
yet I was told never to
place Moral stains on it
Than they showed me their tools
and showed me how to use them
to a builders use a place where
my soul my dream to send
some where along the road
my eyes become unheeded
that I should see what so long
was in a darkness hooded
My dream was so strange
that I knew I saw a truth,
that we ask for light so we as men
shall find the vineyards truth
