Frank Critelli's Dream (#1-3)
words and music by Frank Critelli


I dreamed I saw St. Joseph. He was loading up a van, with blisters on his hands - an ever strong and ever gentle family man. And then I saw the Virgin Mary. She was driving in a car, returning from the grocery store - so beautiful, maternal, and adorable. And I dreamed I was there when their eyes met - it was love at second guess. And I could see that they could see they were blessed.

I dreamed I was friends with Da Vinci. We sat in my backyard. He beat me every time at cards. We talked of love and death and God and stars. Then along came Albert Einstein, and we got drunk on Chardonnay. They talked all night and the next day, and I listened but didn't dare to say - that I dreamed I was there when their minds met, and sparked with a shared understanding that birth and death are accidents - life is random.

I dreamed I was singing a tune under a strawberry moon, but the word came out all wrong and no one liked the songs I'd written and practiced for so long. And then we all drove home - each of us alone. And we thought about our words, and what we saw, and what we heard, and realized a miracle occurred: that we were there together - all in the same room. For better or worse, that connects us in the universe.
