I Have A Dream...

I have big dreams….
I just don’t know how to make them small enough to grasp.
My   -- i m a g i n a t i o n --  takes up the most room in my head.
I am easily capable of imagining + good emotions + so that I can feel them in order to feel alive.
Everything else is shoved.in.a.closet. and locked away because I don’t want to stop ima g in i n g . . .
But I have the key.
I feel as though I should open the closet door and let the contents within it   s p i l l o u t >>> to overcome the vast space that my imagination takes up…
But I am afraid of losing the ability to have control of my own world.
To create it how I want it to be...
Rather than just follow the same conventions that everyone else does when growing up.

I believe this is only possible with imagination. 
This is something I have to do -
But first I must build up the courage to   | build a wall |   to create a great divide:
Of imagination as something = as equal to everything else that is in my head
but continue to keep it separate.
[Because I refuse to let imagination go]
Without it, I could not live my life.
To imagine feeling, is to feel it.
To imagine creating, is to create it.
And to have the ability to imagine life in the way you want it, is to live it in the way you want to.
This possibility creates the reality.
And without imagination, none of it would be possible.

Music VIII: God


God isn't something above us.
           God is something among us.
                      God is something within us.


It is a living thing.
And when we learn to love ourselves and our place on this earth --
We come to know God, and the form that it takes within us.


Every one has a different form of God within them, but there is one thing that we all share in common:        
the gift of life.
There is also one thing that only some of us share in common:
the value of it.
And there is one thing that we all must do in order to value our gift of life:
love ourselves....

Music VII: Twilight Galaxy

Don't you love it...
when you find those songs 
that seem to tell your life 
with its words?


...
It's a new dawn.


Did they tell you: "you should grow up"
When you wanted to *dream
Did they warn you: "better shape up
If you want to succeed"
I don't know about you....who are they talking to?
They.aren't.talking.to.me.

I'm higher than HIGH, LOWER THAN deep
I'm doing it wrong, singing  a l o n g

Did I ask you: for attention
When affection is what I need
Thinking sorrow is perfection
I'd wallow 'til you told me:
There's no glitter in the gutter
There's no -- tWiLiGhT gAlAxY

Go higher than HIGH.
     GO LOWER THAN deep.
          Keep doin it wrong.
              Keep singing  a l o n g .

IM. ALL. RIGHT...c'mon baby!!
I've seen all the demons that you've got.
If you're NOT. ALL. RIGHT...now c'mon baby!!


I'll pick you up & take you where you want.

[ Anywhere you want ]




Go higher than HIGH.
     GO LOWER THAN deep.
          Keep doin it wrong.
              Keep singing  a l o n g .

-found this acoustic version of the song and totally appealed to me differently than the original version. 
Goes to show how things become better in a different light.
