Original DDE™ art: “World of Ideas” by: rob kistner © 10/30/25
—-<§>—-
a dream takes wing — a flicker in the blue
a tremor born of wonder light and chance
stirs the fertile mind — light breaks through
unfolds the vision into a bold expanse
this fragile faith began as happenstance
dreams gather pace to become design
the mind — once hesitant, begins to shine
doubt loosens as fear gives way to — “try”
in that leap to “what if” — the stars align
belief and vision unlocks the how and why

The best way is just to try and do it anyway. We learn along the way. Thanks Rob!!!!
Thank you Grace. If inspiration leads discovery will follow… 🙂
A very accomplished variant of the dizain form. I wonder, though, if the variation was intentional? If not, you might reverse lines 7 and 8 for the usual form. I think that would still work. Either way, an interesting poem of a questing mind.
Thank you Rosemary… 🙂 I did the line swap and I love it… ! I think perhaps that is subconsciously what I had envisioned all along.
We need to hope.. the stars will align one day
They must for us Björn, or someday the human era will be as remote and irrelevant to this earth as was the dinosaur. 😐
I love the progression of dream-vision, wonder breaking through to thoughts that engender faith to take that “leap to ‘what if'” — Your poetry make for a visionary experience in themselves, but lead to so much more when “the stars align.”
I most particularly loved this line: “a tremor born of wonder light and chance.” Wow. ??
Thank you soo much Dora. Your enthusiasm lifts my spirit! 🙂
“this fragile faith began as happenstance”
And so we try.
To be truly open to possibility Melissa, is to embrace courage of the highest order, and to render fear powerless… 🙂
