The Dreaming is Power series encourages you to pursue your dreams and embrace the challenges of dreaming through the inspiring stories of people who are dreaming big.  You met Fly Zyah in November 2020. Today's post introduces you an extraordinary writer and artist, Tameron Colbert.

Tameron is also Mr. Colbert, PK Co-Coach at I Dream PCS and Urban Teacher resident working to complete his master's degree in Elementary Education. Tameron the I Dream PCS staff a glimpse of his genius when he threw together a poem during orientation that blew us all away. 

In the video below, Tameron shares how he fell in love with writing, what is a lyrical playwright, and his Broadway dream. Listen to his thought-provoking advice about pursuing a dream, for all of you dreamers out there. The I Dream community is keeping our eye on this rising star. Tickets to see his work will sell fast!

Eclipse Of Hearts
Love,
A Horizon compelled between
Two Suns and a Moon
Tread carefully
Because love is yet an eclipse that can
Darken your path towards Enlightenment

Depiction of such a beautiful horizon
That composes a muse of blues, purples, and gentle yellows
To form a song sung for the petals in the sun
I
Have you yet to feel the empathy?
Brighten, to make the perfect day
Seem elegant..
And turn the tide of beauty and essence 
That enriches the love of your life?

Have you ever been stoned into trickery?
That loving the sun and putting it
On your shoulders, could forever
Put an eclipse over your heart

​~Tameron Colbert

When I dare to be powerful - 
  to use my strength in the service of my vision,
it becomes less and less important
  whether I am afraid.

REAL POWER is what happens when people connect what they do to who they are."   

~Rick Miller, Forbes Magazine, "What is Power, Really?" 10/25/18
Amanda Gorman has that real power. We witnessed her genius during her recitation of her poem, "The Hill We Climb" during the 2021 Inauguration. Before she became the first Poet Laureate in the U.S., she appeared on the Today Show to share her story of how she stepped into her power. Be inspired.
