sometimes a thought lingers with you

for quite some time

sometimes a thought swims in your head 

and reflects like light shining through water

sometimes thoughts gain speed and turn to action

can be misdirected

can grow into something real

can be re-imagined

can be softened

can transform

can be controlled

can smolder

and fuel you

to open your eyes

to stand and walk

to take many steps

to begin

to be used for the kind of change 

that will make the world joyful once again
