what do you REALLY desire

i am not talking "wanting"
that is for dinner choices and cool clothes shopping.
this is about digging deep into the soul to
hear what's nagging at you behind the daily distractions,
the busy schedules and the things you have to do.

this is all about the dream
yes, THE dream.
there's probably a few floating around, but then
there is something that surfaces
like gasping for fresh air after being under water for too long,
that moment before you think you are gonna die,
then you see the sky.

write it down
pin it up
shout it out

until you claim the prize
it's just a printed piece of paper on a roll

stop your busyness and sit. still. be. quiet.
give your dreams a chance to be heard
they may be whispering softly, lacking confidence and surefootness
or, they may be screaming at the top of their lungs
"for god's sake, dont you HEAR me?"

time to listen.
