In the seed is the daisy or
the mighty green saguaro.
In the rain is the river that
will feed the sea tomorrow.
In the match is the fire that
becomes a conflagration.
In the step is the journey
that becomes the destination.
In the hearts of the children
In the words of the leaders
In the deeds of the people
Is the future
Is the future
In the asking “How can I?”
there begins a new invention.
In one voice is the founding
of a movement of dissension.
In the kiss of the lovers is
another generation.
In a song are ideas that
could rouse a sleeping nation.
In the hearts of the children
In the words of the leaders
In the deeds of the people
Is the future
Is the future
I was excited to see and read your poem. I love the form, the rhymes, and near rhymes. Great structure, starting with a small or singular thing and moving to the grand; then there's the refrain of hope. Thank you! xoA <3
