The Waiting Dream - Inspired by Naomi Shihab Nye's How Do I know When a Poem Is Finished?
April 11, 2019
When you quietly
walk away from a dream,
the dream is not dead.
It is resting. Breathing.
Allowing you to breath
for a little while.
Now it has time to gather
it's will and courage,
pushing them to a new place of confidence.
It seeps back into your life,
Brighter and stronger,
dreams becoming reality.
When you return,
you might change a step,
or tweak a goal.
You could keep fidgeting
forever. But the dream still
holds your heart. So you might as well
leave it there.
