Root your dreams so deeply that hurricanes yield
Grow diamond bark and steel branches
Water everything with conviction
and a soul-feel of trumpets and triumph
Then just stand in your power and grow
Come to stay
Like you know you’re the secret
Like you’re the storm too
Like the poetry and innocence of imagination
insist on arcing to the sun
dancing sideways in strong winds
and being the biggest, baddest you
of ALL TIME
Even weathered, the earth will hold you when you reach for the sky
Come to stay
It is a game
It is a game
It is a game
That you can win
