To Hope To Dream To Love

Oh mind, let thy wander

to hopes,

of what could possibly be

to dreams,

never before been had

to love,

not yet found

The hopes,

formed as just a glimmer.

A small ray,

that when given attention

flourishes and grows

until that hope

becomes a realization.

The dreams,

just a simple thought

becoming more complex

as it is weaved

in and out,

becoming so much more

The love,

formed when one hopes and dreams

that such a thing

can be possible

if you let that small glimmer of hope

and that tiny dream,

flourish and grow

as you weave in and out.

Until you realize,

that what you’ve hoped and dreamed for

with all the attention it’s been given

has become so much more
