 the Minds

That Compel Us

To Lift Our Heads

*

 sweep Dust

from darkened corridors

convey  Light

turn Alleyways

into 4 lane Boulevards

tributary streams

into powerful Rivers

*

Minds that

with a Gleam

and a Nod

open Doors

 Create Vistas

Broad and Beautiful

*

leave us convinced

Of A Journey

*

a taste of Opportunity

lying in Wait

*

 should we choose

*

those People

of those Minds

teach us

For A Moment

*

to Give

a little further

Fear a little less

stretch a fraction harder

love ourselves

just

that bit more

keenly

*
