The Poetic Word

Dreams

BY GLORIA O’KOYE

*Intro*

Dreams

Dreams

They say

We’re just dreaming…

They say

Dreams

Dreams

They told us

Our dreams meant nothing.

Dreams may not get recognition,

When it is first planted as a seed.

Sturdy is the roots,

Future growth

Is closer than what it seems.

Storms and pests

Will consume what it can,

Or what the Gardener

Allows.

Harvest shall be plentiful,

When problems are treated

Head on.

Some crops may wither,

But more will continue to sprout.

A kernel produces fields,

Eventually

Feeding a sea of mouths.

Like icebergs

The surface doesn’t reveal,

What’s underneath

Where it counts.

Like a game of poker,

Every progress

Shouldn’t be shown

All at once,

Surprises

Are jack-in-the-boxes,

Dreams are special treats

And

Privileges.

Carefully choosing team players,

Some will build or crumble

Empires

Before completing its creation.

Dreams are blueprints

To immeasurable infrastructures…

Many will fear,

Only reason to continue pushing

Failures are blessings in disguise…

Discouragements

Are like storms,

Temporary setbacks

When there’s a glorious rainbow

in sight.

Dreams built civilizations

Alongside riverbanks,

Look how far dreams

Taken us

From the jump…

*Outro*

Dreams

Dreams

Our dreams are Royal

And

Mean

Everything!

Believe in your dreams

And take the steps to accomplish them.

Be patience and you will eventually see its fruition.
