here is a child
waiting to be born
here is a match
which hasn't been lit
here is an abstract cloud
longing to be labeled
bunny, fish, dinosaur
here is an undisturbed pond
yearning for ripples to crease
its glossy surface
here is a treasure chest
waiting to be found
here is a letter
waiting to be signed
here is an empty room
here is a song
with no melody
here is a door
waiting to be unlocked
here is a dream
waiting to come true
