We Need Dreamers

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs



We need a few dreamers,
people who go where
we should not go,
men and women who
brave the wilderness,
who map out new frontiers,
who invent the future.


Yes, we need a few dreamers.

We need dreamers who will
overcome the nay-sayers,
and run past ‘stop signs’
just because they can.

We need dreamers who
see tomorrow today,
who lead us where 
we don’t know
we need to go.

We need dreamers 
who will help invent 
what we need 
even though we don’t know 
what we need

We need dreamers who look
at the distant hills and say,
“I wonder what’s over there,”
and then they go
and find out.

We need dreamers 
who don’t know the bounds 
of earth, and time, and space.
They just go out 
and find the edges,
and push them further out.
They dream of ‘what if’ and then …
they lasso it and bring it home.

Where can we find
some dreamers like this?

Where, indeed.
