Emergence/Change
If you believe in fairy tales
This is a perfect time,
For me to open up your heart
And claim what must be mine.
*
But I fear I’m now not certain
I don’t know where to be,
There is too much, there is so much
And there is only me.
*
You are but one of many
Still l know just what to do,
My certainty it overflows
For every one of you.
*
If one believes in miracles
I can perform my deed,
Spread out my will and enter in
You’ll listen – you will heed.
*
If only you were wiser
I could do what I must dare,
The way would go more swiftly
And I would take you there.
*
If all the If’s were certainties
And all your dreams came true,
The rest would come so easily
To bring this time to you.
*
It’s you who I must care for
You and only you,
Open up your soul and let me in
It’s time - I come for you!
My name is Change
Please let me in!
*

I’m glad it wasn’t just believing in fairy tales. Because I don’t & never have
But – the – I saw miracles & I knew I was in!

Never doubt it RoSy! The reference to fairy tales was more a reference of the ability to suspend a specific mindset so as to be more open to change. And “Miracles” yes most definitely a good thing! Yes!

Hi Leslie, I’ve got this saying I made up eons a go, Never walk by an open door at the very least peek inside … of course I’ve gotten myself in trouble a few times because of that (lol) but still … I think awareness of possibilities is right up there with opportunities that may appear … And of course sometimes when the door knocks our hands are already full (sometimes with the wrong stuff) I’m just full of it today aren’t I ….

Indeed – I think we both are
love it! btw I am posting my thoughts on the word ‘awakening’ soon which falls in so well with awareness.
and …I couldn’t fix it once posted but since when do doors actually knock lol

Once again I forget AnElephant to comment here personally. Your poetry is superb as always, but your message is utterly compelling. A few of us know it is happening, but you put it into words as only you can. Powerful vision of the inevitable.
