A Reason to Believe

Thank you for being my wish come true. You gave me a reason to believe.

A Reason to Believe

Cup your hands up to your face;

Let out your deepest fears, your hidden traits.

Speak them, think them, or spew them away,

Let them run to a different place.

 

Now try to make a wish, for anything you desire,

May it be for love, happiness, or even satire;

Hold it close, feel it come to life,

Then release it, into a world of hype.

 

Wishes are just children, youthful and naïve,

Unbeknownst of what they truly perceive;

They cannot be chained, or held enclosed,

Only let out; only set free.

 

A wish grows as it flutters with butterflies,

It becomes stronger when soaring with birds;

It matures as it glides along the clouds so serene,

All while the wisher still believes.

 

But it becomes older over time, with more wisdom,

With more power, and more emotion.

A wish soon finds another just like it,

Longing for love, happiness, or satire.

 

The creator, who never stopped believing,

Thinks not of the wish when opportunity is seized;

Falling in love with a beautiful woman,

Or a person becoming a friend he needs.

 

This is how wishes work,

With no prize or reprieve;

Only in need of a wisher,

Who always believed.

 

Make a wish, and always believe;

Someday that wish may be exactly what you need.

Author's Note

I think I'm beginning to enjoy writing poetry a lot. It was late at night, and I was doing a lot of thinking. The words just felt right.

[Coyote Poetry]

Sometime all we have is wishes and hope. I believe we need to keep the heart of youth alive to keep our hope and dreams in sight.
"But it becomes older over time, with more wisdom,
With more power, and more emotion."
Thank you for the excellent poem.

A indirect emotional party lends itself from the screen to my mind. I find as the reader you hold my hand at every line then cast me out to find my own way through the flow of the piece, very well written, great read.

[Tasha]

I really liked this, it felt write reading it.
"A wish grows as it flutters with butterflies,
It becomes stronger when soaring with birds;
It matures as it glides along the clouds so serene,
All while the wisher still believes."
This stanza was so pretty, it stood out to me. Wonderful write.
