Growing Ideas

Your mind at peace - lazing around a crackling campfire,
Deep within - a thought of something to which you aspire.
The dawning of a new idea - you feel the spark of a little fire,
Growing bigger day by day - until it’s a fully-fledged desire.
Stoke the coals within - let the flames engulf you like wildfire,
Keep on stoking - never allow the flames of desire to expire.
Seek what you need - don’t be shy to ask for help or to enquire,
For lack of information - can force your pursuit to misfire.
Sink your teeth into your desire - like a unforgiving bloodthirsty vampire,
Exercise your brains - allow your dendrons to rewire.
Mull your mind - work it hard - allow it to perspire,
While gathering information - which you need and must acquire.
Times will come that will be tough – like treading through a soggy quagmire,
Persistence is the thing - which you will then most require.
Dream stealers will attempt to hold you back - hoping your ideas will backfire,
Believe in yourself - unwaveringly - and stick with people that inspire.
You’ll be amazed at what you can achieve - and what will transpire,
The end result - your pride and joy - for all and sundry to admire.
The castles you’ve built - the dynasty you’ve created - what an empire,
The completion of your task - before you lay down and retire.
