My Living Dream

All throughout my life, I've had a dream. 
One of which without constraint.
Where I can sing and play and shine a beam
Onto my own life that I paint.

You see, this paint is more than color;
It's laughter and love without the gloom.
I need my art and not this dollar;
That fake flower will never bloom.

In this dream, my soul does speak
To me in ways so deeply known
So I can see the ways that I shall peak
And live this life that I will own.

I need to bridge this plan to action
To feel and see where I will go.
There'll be no selfish deeds that need retraction
Because divine love will always grow.

My fav line "I need my art and not this dollar; That fake flower will never bloom." And "because divine love will always grow." It sounds like what poetry means to me. Love it
