Closer to my dreams

A wish

At 11:11(pm) on 11/11/11 I made a wish. Childish yes. But it’s good to stay in touch with your inner child. I find that’s where my creativity stems. Anywho. My wish? “A wish for wings that work”. It’s very figurative. And based off of a children’s book of the same title. My favorite book as a child. I know what I mean. If you do too? Well that’s great. Catch my wave.

There’s nothing

Ryshon Jones – Keep Ya Stockings On

So this won’t be on Brightest Nights Darkest Days. And the album has been pushed back to Dec23. It wouldn’t be a Ryshon release without 1933789 pushbacks. He’s like “aw shit I stubbed my toe. The album gotta wait another week”

Volcanic Sunlight by Saul Williams

Saul Williams has long been a heavy influence and a source of inspiration to me.

Saul Williams – Patience

Every morning
I rise and face
the firing squad.

Every morning
there is one
who holds
his fire.

His dilemma
is my system
of belief.

They fire rounds
but I am seldom
in their circle.

A quiet mind
is labeled ‘sound’
and colored purple.

My little boy
has not yet learned
to color within lines.

His jumbled diction
has not yet learned
our contradiction.

We speak of art
with flaming passion
and then do work
void of compassion
and wonder why
reality
is bleeding fiction.
