Destiny by CATeyes

Without Destiny

There are some thoughts
that when spoken take on change.
They can become something different
when uttered aloud,
moreover their power increases.

Better then keep them unsaid,
and seam them away
into the folds of the mind.
That way is kind to survival.
When held close, feelings retain
all the magical colours we need.
They willingly perform any
lifting of salt-soaked hearts,
but they perform only as dreams.

Take then a rainbowing archway
of picture-paste dreaming,
paint and plaster it over the heart,
and leave it,
a footprint appears in it's core,
marking a need
entrenched in the soul and
ready for healing.

Keep vision clear and see it alive,
but as yet unspoken,
fill it with hope, bring it out nightly,
re-dream it,
then burnlish it brightly.
This treasure alone is ours,
and has its own beauty
which feeds us while waiting for real.

Without destiny life seems unfair,
barely endurable
and the future looks empty indeed.
Let us then guard our daily dreaming.
