Hopes and dreams
Can be fragile
Like a paper ship
We gently hold onto them
Nurturing them
Growing them
Unfolding and refolding them
Afraid of letting them go
Not wanting them to disintegrate
Before our very eyes
Not sure who to trust
With our ideas and desires
Not sure which ocean of motion
To set their course in
Ponder this:
What if holding onto those ships
Is what keeps them fragile
What if letting them go
Setting them on a course
Where the wind can carry them
Can push them
Where they need to go
Would actually
Strengthen them
And bring them back to us
Laden down with all our wildest
Hopes and dreams
We are the in charge of our fleet
Of hopes and dreams
We can keep them
Safe in the harbor of our mind
Or we can set them free
To sail the ocean
Of the Universal mind
And see what it brings
