There’s a moment
when everything clicks—
when ideas align,
and pieces find their place.
Before that,
it’s just a dream—
eyes full of maybe,
and hands reaching
for goals that have no name.
Then something shifts.
The dream stops drifting
and demands to be real.
It asks for progress,
for effort,
for a step in the right direction.
Some trade the step
for a scheme—
hoping to arrive
without the journey,
taking shortcuts
through the dark.
Most stay safe
in the land of “it’s a plan”,
where the dream
never risks
being less than perfect.
But for those
who find the courage to begin—
the plan unfolds,
piece by piece,
into meaning.
That’s the moment
when everything clicks.
What we see
becomes what we do,
and the dream is able
to stand on its own.
This piece explores the turning point between vision and action—when an idea stops being a dream and starts becoming real… like trying to write poetry when you haven’t done it for a while!

This is a beautiful poem and a wonderful reminder that an idea only becomes real when you stop just thinking about it and start acting on it, even if the action is small. Thanks for sharing, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

Thanks so much! I have to remind myself often that starting is probably the hardest part of nearly everything. Thanks for stopping by, Aiva.

Spectacular photo! I’m sure the sun rose higher an instant later, but it sure looks like it was parked there for awhile.

Thanks, Dave. Yes, the sun did rise further, but I liked the sky better in this one… more clouds!
