A Dream Coming True

By Zalman Phillips

I believe it is healthy to dream and fantasize at times.

Life is very challenging
and I feel the need for a healthy escape (no drugs here)
At times of pain, often I close my eyes
and travel to my favorite place
I try to imagine myself walking around inside the Beis Hamikdosh.

True, my knowledge of the future Beis Hamikdosh is not perfect
as is my current surroundings
But it’s enough to give me a sense of exhilaration
I feel the perfect world
with only happiness and light.

And come back to my reality all too quick.

The aftereffect of such dreaming remains positive however,
for I am certain this dream will materialize soon.

When I walk into 770 I feel a little bit of that charge
Something special in the air
It doesn’t erase my daily challenges
but it reminds me that something great
beyond my imagination
is hovering over us.

Now I don’t need to close my eyes
I look and imagine 770 expanded to a majestic size
Befitting a King
I feel the charge and happiness again.

Oh, how I yearn for it to materialize
Let’s do this
As nothing can stop believers.
