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!

Well said. It is upon those one good ideas that the very framework of life is set. Write on!

Gunslinger - Sometimes all it takes is One Good Idea to step out the box we find ourselves confined in. Just had to write a little about it. Thanks GS for stopping by to enjoy. Namyh

Namyh,
This really spoke to me. I'm always getting ideas. Ideas I don't know what to do with.
I want to ask someone if they have thought about this or that but I don't know who to ask
or even where to go to see what the latest thinking is on the subject. Drives me crazy!
