My back lay heavy against the unseen ground,
cooled by evening grass
Arms tightened secure behind my head,
I stared at the sky
A great mystery played out in the air
Thousands of miles high the stars performed tricks
“Impossible” I said to myself,
The voice of reason interrupting my dream
For the arrangement was this:
There were four small clusters,
Each with an outer ring spinning inside an inner
They lulled like sparkling gyroscopes with hundreds of golden eyes
Mystifying, how they blinked on and off
A giant wheel was suspended between these fantastic formations
Larger than anything else hanging in inky space
As it turned on its side, so did the moon, caught inside the churning wheel’s ruts
All of this continued slowly,
Orbits circling orbits and stars blinking,
Winking at the earth below
And this is the dream I had on Friday night. I thought nothing of it except, "What a peaceful dream" until I mentioned it to my mom.
"I dreamed about wheels last night" is what was said and she responded,
"Were they way in the middle of the air?"
Of course, she was referring to the old song "Ezekiel Saw the Wheel":
Ezekiel saw the wheel, way in the middle of the air
the big wheel ran by faith, and the little wheel ran by the grace of God
wheel in a wheel
way in the middle of the air
cooled by evening grass
Arms tightened secure behind my head,
I stared at the sky
A great mystery played out in the air
Thousands of miles high the stars performed tricks
“Impossible” I said to myself,
The voice of reason interrupting my dream

Anyway, the whole thing is really weird when you read from the actual scripture.
Ezekiel 1: 16-18
16 This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. 17 As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not turn about as the creatures went. 18 Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.
What is the significance of any of this?
No clue.
Just interesting.
