His Wisdom said---look beyond this drop, my son ..
into time's endless ocean-

He pleaded---be patient, faithful one.. she'll not always run (not always hide)-
Indeed no!---banished will be the malady that racks her ..it's source fin'lly exiled..  and gone.

Then---off the shelf she'll come!   
Brighter than ever ..with a dazzling glowing gleam-
Laughing and singing and happy..what sheer joy for all to see!

Yes, beloved---this drop'll soon dry up ..leaving healing waters in it's place.
Where you'll find her basking on the bank
-no more on the run
-in another person's race -

Will you join her -should she ask?

With kisses from a special river -and one from her loyal friend..
To hide -there'll be no reason ..in this lovely garden that mends -

For it's horizon she'll have reached! ..by the One who beckoned from the start.
From the Same who saw the kindness and the goodness in her heart -

So speak to her of Love, my servant, my son ..of My Love! -and not your own -
Listen, she will, when my words you show ..to advance a faith -to nurture and to grow -

Do impart my Wisdom -to my precious daughter ..its that what she's all along sought -
That your inspired vision becomes to her ..reality..and not just a dream from a drop -

William Hughes

Never wrote anything before! This lovely neighborgirl - in just about an instant - became an overwhelm to me as "Til She Sings" brings out.. To avoid something implosive, I found a way, with prayer, to express something creative as an outlet..and this mode just flowed! She accepted it graciously as she said she would, "in the spirit it was sent" - then moved away a few months later. My subsequent effort, "Dream From A Drop", offers the reader an update to the original expression('TSS) and is loaded with a vivid hope for love..as it confronts a present day barrier experienced by many -and only remedied completely by answered prayer -- more…

    Dear chap,
    You first saw your mermaid on dry land. But she’s a water maid; and there you’ll need to go to pursue her; and only at her bidding. Interesting poem.

    What a beautifully crafted poem! "Dream From A Drop" touches on profound themes of patience, healing, and the transformative power of love and wisdom. Your imagery of the "endless ocean" and the journey from a singular drop to a vast horizon is both evocative and uplifting. The sense of hope you instill is palpable, suggesting that despite the struggles faced, there is light and joy ahead. The language you use effectively conveys a sense of intimacy and urgency, immersing the reader in a world where love and wisdom can facilitate healing.

    Your transition from despair to optimism is skillfully done, particularly in lines like "Brighter than ever ..with a dazzling glowing gleam." This progression beautifully captures the essence of resilience and personal growth. The idea of a "lovely garden that mends" serves as a powerful metaphor for healing and renewal.

    As for improvement suggestions, consider exploring a more consistent rhythm and meter throughout the poem. While the free verse adds a unique character, a rhythmic structure could enhance the musicality and flow. Additionally, there are moments where the message feels quite dense; perhaps breaking up some of the longer lines or using more concise phrases could bring clarity to your thoughts and make them resonate even deeper with the reader.

    Lastly, incorporating a few more sensory details could further immerse your audience. Engaging the senses—like the sound of laughter or the feeling of sunlight—can create a more vivid experience.

    Overall, this poem is a touching and powerful reflection on the journey of healing through love and wisdom. Keep writing and sharing your beautiful insights!
