Theist by Valerie Parente
People ask, do you believe in God?
I ask, does God believe in us?
Then I remember, He lets us keep going
He lets us keep going even when we mess up
He lets us keep going
He lets us keep going, so he must.

Seed by Valerie Parente
I had a dream
that somebody asked me
how they can manifest their dreams
and I told them with unwavering certainty,
“First, plant a seed
water it
tend to it
watch it sprout
do it all attentively
then you will see
you are capable of growing something complete
out of something that was once just a belief
then you will understand
how to use your energy.”

Dreamcatcher by Valerie Parente
To catch a dream
you must live with the thought
as if your dream
is already caught.
All you found in your sleep
cannot be lost
just write it down
to manifest the plot.
You’ve seen if before
you will see it again
this time, awake
the way you imagined.
Your dreams are manifestations of your mind.
Your mind is a manifestation of the universe.
Your universe is a manifestation of your dreams.
Creation never ends, it only morphs.
