Potential

 

The potential

within you

is boundless.

Energy

spanning whole

universes wide

and stretching out

into the untold beyond

and on to the ever long

eternal whispers

of the cosmic aeons.

 

You are a star that has

only just burst into life,

A light born into the night.

A candle wick set alight.

 

The journey is endless,

our meaning lives on, in

stories of love and light.

Your potential is enormous,

so many seedling trees

sitting in wait to become

a mighty forest of you.

 

The potential is gigantic,

massive, humongous, monumental,

extravagant, substantial,

stupendously vast.

For you stand on

the shoulders of giants,

and hold your arms aloft,

and the world looks on in awe

at the magic that is cast

by your silhouette in the dusk light.

 

When you speak,

the waves stop their roar,

listening in wonder

at all you hold within.

The hope that lays

underneath your skin,

for ourselves and the entire globe.

We are not stacked objects on a shelf,

or damaged packaging dropped

in the returns bin of history.

We are light itself and

in the light, hearts flow,

smiles of love and light to follow,

which live forever

side by side

in perpetual promise

with the stories we sow.
