steady beating
Hand, Meet heart, as you reach for the stars,
I hope you shine as the stars in the sky,
Fight with courage for every dream,
I will grasp it, as you steadily beat,
Hands are tools, your hearts a weapon;
Is this the war? Between wanting and getting,
Where all we are getting is the swift pain of reflection,
Holding on to the past as if it’s an option;
To grasp something you have to let go of what you are holding,
Let it all go, and get freedom in motion, pounding out a beat,
To your strongest devotion;
Dreaming bigger every time you drop your tools,
The stars holding nothing to your eyes, your hearts every beating,
Is what your hands are going to realize;
Battles can be fought with the tools of the trade,
But wars are only won, with a secret weapon,
The steady beating of honest dreaming.
