Something To Tuck Under Your Pillow: A Dream of Love


 I have a dream....
that the universal language of love
 will be spoken by all and deeply felt....
All walls of resistance to love
 will come crumbling down, 
and all frozen hearts will melt....


I have a dream....
that the message of love
 I was born to bring....
Will be a beautiful song 
every soul will sing....
And love will no longer be taken 
for granted or seen,
as a quick fix you can get 
any day of the week,
from a common casual fling....

Love will instead be recognized, honored
 and cherished as a sacred
 spiritual thing....
And the power of love will
 once again reign supreme,
and the fears and false beliefs about love
 the mind of man will no longer cling....

Yes, I have a dream....
that my poems of love will be
a healing balm to the broken-hearted 
sparking a ripple effect 
of vibrational energy....
Compelling wounded souls
 to draw nearer to God,
no matter what their race or religious
 practices may be....

I have a dream....
that the words that pour forth from 
my mouth each day....
and the meditations of my heart 
will be acceptable to God
as I kneel down and pray....

Dear God, please use my talents and gifts 
in such a unique way....
That each Inspirational Love Note I write
will clearly convey....
That You are the potter and 
I am the clay....

This is my written vision of love,
made plain and clear today....
That it shall come to pass;
It shall not delay....

Yes, I have have a dream....
And the vision I'm dreaming of....
Is that all my creative bodies of work will
uplift, empower, encourage, and inspire,
the heart of humanity to return to Love.



Until next time....I surround you in Love & Light! Sleep well and have a peaceful night!

Special King Holiday Dedication:The Dream Continues


Although Friday's are my usual day to convey my Inspirational Love Note message through song. I  wanted my Love Note message for today to align with my dream and life purpose to help heal the hearts and bridge the gaps in our relationships with God, Self and others, that have been moderately to severely damaged or broken, by awakening, encouraging, and evoking the power of love in all humanity.

Equally so, I also wanted my message for today to align with the dream and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to see peace and equality throughout humanity despite our differences of race, creed, religion or color which, like my dream, would also bridge the gaps in our relationships. So I thought about what both our dreams have in common the most. In doing so, I realized one aspect we share is that he was, as I am, a peaceful warrior. 

More importantly, he was, and I am, committed to using the power of love to make an impression upon the world that will continue to touch the lives of others for generations to come. So when I prayed for guidance on the best way to honor his dream while still staying true to my own the attached song and video, "A Dream", one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite Hip Hop Artist, Common, featuring Will I Am, from the movie, Freedom Writers soundtrack, immediately came to my mind.  

I am able to have and live my dream today because a brave soul by the name of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. came before me and dared to have a dream so big for humanity first. So in honor of the man...his legacy...and his dream we celebrate on today, King holiday, please take a moment to listen to the words of this song, enjoy the video and remember...although the dreamer is gone...the dream still lives on. 



Until next time...I surround you in LOVE & light! So always keep your heart open and let your love light shine bright.
