An Artist's Dream For Shawn

I have an artist's dream
It lives in me
tugs at my heart strings
Tells me I'm more than I am
Makes me believe in me, that way


I have an artist's dream
and
it is not in a locale
not in a burrough
not housed in building
or a workplace


It is in me
It is me
my faith
my hope
my being


It drives me forward
and
crazy sometimes
Yet still
it returns to me
like a reconciled lover


I have an artist's dream
that directs my ambition
and is my ammunition
for living

Tonight I feel a lot of elements coming together and congealing like water droplets across a Teflon pan. For one thing, I learned that I am an organizer--it doesn't matter what I’m organizing or for what cause, it’s what I do. And, I haven’t done it in a while. For two, I have learned that life sometimes takes you full circle. You’ll find yourself at a crossroads that you onc...
