"POSSIBILITIES"

Remember as a child
When you’d walk amongst the trees
And you’d find a stick that held
So many possibilities?
It could’ve been a hook you used
To catch things from afar
And it could’ve been a catapult
That launched a shooting star
It could’ve been a flute
That played a song you knew so well
And it could’ve been a wand
Ready to cast a thousand spells
Well, now what if I told you
That the stick was all of these?
Because there lies a certain
Sense of magic in the trees
A magic that reminds us
We are not too old to play
That helps us see the awe and wonder
Wrapped in every day
See, the forest is our playground
And the paths between the trees
Are endless new beginnings
Of adventures to be seized
So grab that stick and row to shore
Then search the midnight sky
Play your favourite song
Then cast a spell that makes you fly
Catch a shooting star
Then launch it back beyond the clouds
Search for hidden gold
And mark an X upon the ground
Remember how it feels to live
Like you’ve nothing to lose
When just a simple stick can be
Whatever you might choose
Then seize those new beginnings
Strewn across the forest floor
‘Cause adventure’s out there waiting
So, what are you waiting for?
******
It feels like a fitting day to share a poem about
'Possibilities' and new beginnings
