Song Title: Closer
Lyrics Obtained from this website: http://www.lyricsdomain.com/7/goapele/closer.html

Closer to my dreams
It's coming over me

I'm gettin' higher
Closer to my dreams
I'm getting higher and higher
Feel it in my sleep

Some times it feels like I'll never go pass here
Some times it feels like I'm stuck forever and ever

But, I'm going higher
Closer to my dreams
I'm goin' higher and higher
I can almost reach

Some times you just have to let it go (Let it go, let it go)
Leaving all my fears to burn down
Push them all away so I can move on
Closer to my dreams
Feel it all over my being
Close your eyes and see what you believe

I'm happy as long as we're apart
Then I'm moving on to my dreams

I'll be moving higher (Moving higher)
Closer to my dreams
And higher and higher, higher
Feel it in my being (I can feel it flow around me)
I know that I could not go alone (No, no)

I'm moving higher (Higher), oh...
I'm going higher and higher and higher (Higher and
Higher)
Closer to my dreams (Higher and higher, oh...oh...)
I'm moving upward and onward and beyond all I can see
(Stretching out my arms so I can reach)

Feels so close it's like I can just reach
I can feel my dreams (Closer to my dreams)
I'm moving closer to my dreams
I'm moving (Higher and higher) higher and higher
(Higher and higher)
Moving higher, oh...

Some times it feels like you never gon'change (Never gon'change)
But you never choose to walk away

When Pieces of A Dream, Comes Together.....








Alvin Ailey's Revelations - Section 2: Take Me To The Water

Alvin Ailey's Revelations - Section 1: Pilgrim of Sorrow

"Silent Tears" ........ Written By: Asia Mouzone

Silent screams, silent pleas for help,
           But no one hears her. No one can
                               Help because no one can
                                               Fully understand her pain.

                               She is forced to live a secret life in
                  Slience. She lives in silence so God can
        Prepare her for her destiny. Preparation
In silence is what she experiences.

Shhh… shhh… shhh… is all she
        Hears. Wanting to ask someone to reach in
                And help her out, but she can’t. If she
                                     Part her lips to explain what she

                      Is enduring, ears that listen would
          Only consider her crazy. She cried late
     In the midnight hours. Tears stain
 Her pillow case and are visible.

Part of her wants to give up,
          But deep within, her spirit won’t let her.
                            God’s hand of protection is on her life,
                                               So she can’t give up.

                               Silent stress is what she calls it. Silent
                Stress that causes physical aches. Aches
        Of neck pain, arm pain, muscle tightening,
 And severe migraines.

She’s cried in secret for so long. She’s labored
              In secret for so long. She’s done what God
                           Told her to do in secret for so long, all
                                                    While singing her silent song.

                     This silent song motivates her to keep
           Striving. She takes one more step when
    She is close enough to take two steps
Back, but she doesn’t.
 
She sings her silent song of inspiration,
              Knowing that millions upon millions of
                              Lives depend on her survival. If she
                                                   Dies, millions will die with her.

                         She sings her silent song knowing that
               What she is experiencing is all part of
        God’s plan. God is leading her and has
Her entire life mapped out in His hand.

Silently she hums her tune of gratitude,
             Grateful that God chose her for such an
                          Intense and powerful purpose, all while
                                        Crying silently, as she suffers the painful
                                                       Agony of preparation for her destiny.

                           She knows her voice will be heard one day.
                 She knows ALL will read and hear what
          She has had to endure, all for the sake
Of God getting the ultimate glory out of her life.

So she continues to endure, knowing that
             God has so much in store. She cries her
                          Silent cries and wipe invisible tears from her
                                        Eyes, tears that came from silent soul cries.

Graffiti is Art Within Itself....

From the voice of me: "Speak your creativity. Be your art. Graffiti that speaks poetry."

Haiku: Japanese Poetry

It has a 5 7 5 syllable pattern and three lines. It's simple poetry, but can invoke much meaning. Below is an example of a Haiku poem I wrote quickly just to demonstrate (for those who may not know):

A mesmerized dream,
Fluent imagination
Begins in the mind
I am an earth tone lover

Introduction

1) Harmony: A pleasing combination of elements in a whole
2) Vision: The manner in which one sees or conceives something
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When harmony and vision combine, they form something completely spectacular. To harmonize simply means to synchronize. It is almost like music, well yeah, it is like music. As a choir or singing group, there are various voices with different styles, tones, and melodies. When the voices come together in song, they create harmony which then becomes "music to the ears" as the old cliche says. My blog will extract similar aspects. Various topics, ideas, feelings, opinions will I write about, but all the variety will form something unique. My randomness will create this harmony I speak of, creating a unique vision. This vision will be captured through different styles of writing to portray diverse parts of me.... Enjoy ;-)
