Once believed
that thought
held magic
that God decides –
worth and merit
in limbo
Such folly –
intent and sweat
beget progress –
Dreams manifest
when step by step
goals take charge
and God,
on the sidelines
applauds.

VJ, your poetic composition beautifully explores the journey from belief in magic to the realization of dreams through intentional effort. I think the imagery of God applauding adds a spiritual touch. Well done on crafting a thought-provoking piece.
