The Magical Portal

The mysteries of the universe are in your hands,
loves, hopes and aspirations of thousands of years,
all the expectations and anticipations and imaginations
in fevered words and lines and phrases,
a portal to another person’s eyes
to see the world as others see it
to have a roadmap to your goals.

The mistakes, joys and depressions,
all of human life through all the generations
unveiled as a red carpet beneath your feet,
tread softly
for you tiptoe on history,
the happiness and misery
at the outreaches of our imagination.

Dream impossible dreams,
see the present in the past
and make the future better for it.
Heed the warnings and celebrate the successes,
your world will blossom with the verve and power
of millions that have gone before,
celebrate them and you --- live life to its fullest.
