is for dreams.
Dream Variations by Langston Hughes
To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
Then rest at cool evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on gently,
Dark like me-
That is my dream!
To fling my
arms wide
In the face
of the sun,
Dance!
Whirl! Whirl!
Till the
quick day is done.
Rest at pale
evening...
A tall, slim
tree...
Night coming
tenderly
Black like
me.
The older I get the more I know that dreams are a way for God
to reveal himself to me. It is in this dream state that I am given direction as
to God’s will.
My eyes are opened as to how God sees me and how I see
myself. Seeing the true me I see that I
am that child running in the sunshine, feeling the tall green grass between my
toes and loving myself, loving myself, loving myself.
God made me this way and I find myself celebrating every
wrinkle, grey hair and frown line. I
have lived a great life and I look forward to living so much more.
Do I have dreams? You
bet. I still dream of writing the next great
American novel. I still have dreams of going to China to photograph pagodas and
the Great Wall. Before I die, I am dreaming that I will work on a water project
for the children in some small village in Africa and teaching the women of the
Republic of Congo about what I know of
the Risen Lord. My dream is to make a difference and tell somebody, “if God did
this for me He will surely do it for you!”.
I dream to live my life like a jazz melody that ebbs and
flows and skips and jumps. I will always
be in rhythm but my poems don’t have to rhyme.
I am free because I can dream.
