Holding possibility
Before a new reality exists
Someone has to
Hold the possibility
That it can exist.
Meaning
Someone has to
Sharpen the hazy contours
Of a nascent idea
Seeing it clearly
And unequivocally
In their mind’s eye.
Then
Stand up for the idea.
In the face of doubt.
Without backing down.
Until the idea
Can stand on its own.
Holding the possibility
Of something big
With conviction.
Before you have any
Obvious or defensible right to.
Is an act of courage.
With a tinge of insanity.
The only way
Any progress
Ever happens.
