Langston Hughes retweeted
Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly.
I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind
Langston Hughes retweeted
Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed— Let it be that great strong land of love
And I’d like to be there to see What they intend to do In these trying times today
It's a long ways From where you live to where I live - But there's a direct line From your heart to mine -
Langston Hughes retweeted
So I went on back to bed - And dreamed the sweetest dream
Folks, I'm telling you, birthing is hard and dying is mean- so get yourself a little loving in between.
Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly
It's a long ways From where you live to where I live - But there's a direct line From your heart to mine -
Langston Hughes retweeted
I play it cool And dig all jive. That's the reason I stay alive. My motto, As I live and learn, is: Dig And Be Dug In Return.
Langston Hughes retweeted
smiling, laughing, happy
No great poet has ever been afraid of being himself.
Outside The world is gloomy, The winds of winter cold, As down the road A wandering poet Must roam
Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love. I like to work, read, learn, and understand life.
I sat there singing her Songs in the dark. She said, I do not understand The words. I said, There are No words.
If you had a head and used your mind You could have me with you All the time.

Had a full circle moment today. Wanted to share. I was a director at Harlem Children’s Zone a few years ago. Between meetings I would eat lunch on Langston Hughes’ house steps. I had this crazy notion that I could soak up some of his energy or something like that.
Happy Birthday, #LangstonHughes! x.com/langston_poems…
Be like the flowers, Bloom in the strength of your unknown power
Happy Bday Langston! x.com/langston_poems…

"To fling my arms wide In the face of the sun, Dance! Whirl! Whirl! Till the quick day is done. Rest at pale evening . . . A tall, slim tree . . . Night coming tenderly Black like me." Happy Birthday, Langston Hughes.

Perhaps the mission of an artist is to interpret beauty to the people, — the beauty within themselves.
