One Good Idea

Ever toss One Good Idea in the Sea of Fate
'cause some kin or buddy said it had no weight?
When the next one came to tremble your soul,
those fingers of doubt only strangled it cold.

No diploma, certificate or college degree
was required to envision what your vision did see.
For the God within pulsed a Light sublime,
that One Good Idea that was yours for the time.

It's had civilization running after learning to walk,
babies making speeches after learning to talk,
scientists, explorers letting loose their Fear,
Man marching forward on One Good Idea.

And Faith held together by the glue of Belief
will rocket that Idea past the hands of a thief
who hoped to impart some poisoning corruption
only to find he's been caught in its suction.

Perhaps, there's the crux of an Idea so true,
its power to magnetize and vibrate in you
to exalt our Love, to diffuse our Fear,
like an H-bomb of Change is
One-Good-Idea.
Boom !

Enjoyed reading this. The capitalization of certain words really adds something. -Rileigh

For me I found this relevent in that I often get an idea that I feel is so correct that I have to put it into action.  But after I have completed the task I am overcome with doubt and wonder what would have happened if I had tried a different approach.

How many good ideas have gone with the wind because of nay-sayers and those who make you doubt yourself?
