Feeling Possibilities
I remember a carnival
and a stand with a doll . . .
Feeling Possibilities
I remember a carnival
and a stand with a doll
that kept popping up
each time it was
knocked over
In a way
that's how I feel
as if something in me
strong, centered, real
keeps bringing me back to myself
ready to go onward
I do want to avoid
being like that doll
over and over, knocked over
I would rather be given
cheers and celebration
hugs and kisses
Still
if I do get knocked over
I'd rather not be crushed
or prematurely go bust
my face in the dust
when so much can still
be in store for me
I have hope
that is real
I know
that I feel
possibilities
I know
from deep inside
I'm open wide
to possibilities
so I strive
to bring alive
in myself
in the world
dreams
desires
possibilities
I know how I feel
I feel strong
yet open
This is real
coming from
my center
Yes
I remember a carnival
and a stand with a doll
that kept popping up
each time it was
knocked over
I have hope
that is real
and I know
that I feel
possibilities
and I strive
to bring alive
dreams
desires
possibilities
amazing blazing
fabulous fantastic
wonderful
possibilities

I wake up, feeling possibilities.
An image in my mind:
a doll at a carnival.
I start writing
a hope and encouragement poem.
Looking for upbeat positive poems?
Poems of Hope
Poems of Encouragement
Poem of Possibility
I don't sit down and say to myself:
time for a poem of hope,
time for words of encouragement
I wake up, with an image inside me -
an image of a doll at a carnival -
and with words inside me.
In a way,
that's how I feel
Then the question comes:
how to tell others
about these words,
these words about the doll at the carnival,
and about how I feel.
Hmm, poems about hope,
encouragement poem.
I could also say -
hope springs eternal -
though it doesn't actually
But that's another story,
another word piece,
another piece of poetry.
This time, words of encouragement,
a poem about hope.
