I THOUGHT.

I met you

2x

in a dream

You

look like

my blessing

right out of a

Hollywood scene

All through our discussion

the first time

we met

You

asked "where's the book?"

I said, "Not yet."

I had other things

gifts

I wanted to share

but

You

smiled at me

You said, "let me know when it gets here"

Years later

you walked onto

the platform of my dreams

Again, excited

because you returned

Your light

ever shining

still

prescribing "things"

for self-care and to learn

So

I tell you about my goal

to save HBCU's and my play

You gave me that

"She don't understand what's going on" look

formed a smile and these words

she did say, "where's the book?"

I felt it was so unfair

How God keep giving me

things to think and do

They

ain't going nowhere

what's wrong with what I've done

when did the order list

come out

cause I'm struggling

in this dream

who tells

Oprah to get out

She smiles at me

she has read my mind

She said, "I didn't come to hurt you

God's got a purpose for you and your gift

Chile, it's divine

Finish a -the book"

I could not respond

She got ready to leave

My disappointment quite clear

She turned to me

said, "I know there's something we share

telling your truth

makes you scared

but you have to fight against it

come hook or crook......

God is trying to use you....

Stop wasting time....

We all

just

Waiting on that book
