Sometimes dreams take shape

in the afterglow of a cleansing fire

Hope borne from the ashes

of grand plans marries naked ambition

This, the inception of new found goals, flourishes

 

When burdens are abandoned and

initial reluctance is buried,

Possibility becomes a mantra

and even the weary find the strength

to race the wind

 

In the formation of wide-open tomorrows

each trapped shiver is set free

each moment, a victory

each setback, a stepping stone

Embrace the power of the unknown

 

Let the floodgates open

Persistence prevails
