Excerpt
Dreams in Motion
Poetry is an art of expression, but it is more than that. It is a glimpse into the soul of the story teller and a window into the world of another person.
Poetry is powerful. Words can inspire us, provoke us to rage, bring us close to one another, make us happy, and make us sad. It takes us from one emotion to the next covering every spectrum of the human existence and experience.
It is an expression of art and emotion through spoken and written words. It is the stories from the mouths of griots that traveled the middle passage carrying our history in their belly. It is the song of the field slave that began as a prayer in a whisper of freedom, and ended as a tribute to the past in the mouths of children during black history month.
It is the hook of your favorite song that started as a line in the mind of an artist that he could not shake. It is the flawless movements of a dancer that started as the awkward pirouettes of a little girl in her ballet class mirror. It is the first dance of a bride and groom that started as a mutual glance of two strangers across a crowded room.
It is the birth of a child that started as hope in the hearts of her parents. It is laughter, heart break, hopes, dreams, love, hate, defeat, triumph, happiness, sadness, struggle and faith…It is life. Poetry is life and life is a dream in motion.
