The Best Ideas

The best ideas, I’m told,

Lie buried six feet deep,

For too many a man

Hang onto his ideas

And never gave them life.

Think about it:

Everything that was,

Everything that is

Everything to be

Had, has and will have

An idea behind it.

For even God

When he first created the universe

And all that lies therein,

Had first to form a tiny version of it:

An idea

Therefore, let no man tell you

To “be Realistic” or “Stop Dreaming”

For he that does so is himself a dreamer;

Not realising that without ideas

His whole life would be

A bore,

A struggle,

Non-existent.

So whatever idea you have,

Small or big, simple or complex,

Give it life and let it do the rest,

Imprison it not in your mind:

Then you shall see

What great power there is

In an idea.
