The Dream of a Different Martin

  He had a dream that we would someday allow everyone to have their own dream. Silly or profound, understood or not, it doesn’t matter. What matters is being free to dream it.  

The Dream of a Different Martin

A dream of a brightly colored self and a matching kite smiling in the wind, yes.  

A dream of floating above a canyon, far above the dangerous water, yes.  

A dream of radio and rock and roll, yes.

A dream of green across the sky, yes.

A dream of a serenading snake, yes.

A dream of a cat as important as the sun, yes.

A dream of a sailboat waiting for you to make it move, yes.
