and it isour dreams that point the way to freedom. They are made realizable through our poems thatgive us the strength and courage to see, to feel, to speak, and to dare.
Poem are dreams that represent a representation of who we are and what we seek. They are pavements towards freedom because poems speak powerful statements that teach us both the writer and the audience on how to have more courage and strength to speak what's on our minds. They are an escape to creativity.
These places of possibility within ourselves are dark because they are ancient and hidden; theyhave survived and grown strong through darkness. Within these deep places, each one of usholds an incredible reserve of creativity and power, of unexamined and unrecorded emotionand feeling.
Throughout these lines Audre Lorde tells us, the audience, how each of us have the possibility of self-transformation. We are creative and powerful in our own way but only when we let our capabilities unhidden. This reminds me of another reading from a different class that has a similar idea of being scared of the unknown. However, it's nothing to be afraid about but instead turn to excitement.
