PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I love how I was created with the ability to imagine...alone or in a crowd...

I can imagine whales that fly, trees that talk, visiting castles in the clouds.

From anywhere I am at any moment…wherever I happen to be…

I can imagine I’m a bird soaring across the sky…or a pirate on the sea.

I can imagine I’m standing in a snowstorm…in Florida…in June…

I can imagine I’m jumping from star to star…or sitting on the moon.

I can imagine I’m in a Fairy Tale…riding atop my loyal steed wielding my trusty blade…in a world with damsels to be rescued…and dragons to be slayed.

I can imagine a world at peace…where everyone treats everyone the same…

where acceptance is the norm…and love lights every flame.

How blessed to have an imagination…an imagination created just for me…

with an unlimited number of places I can go…and wonders I can see. 

I am grounded in reality…of this I’ll never lose sight…

but having an imagination allows my fantasies to take flight.

Fantasy and reality…created in me to be forever inexplicably tied…

And I, for one, am glad they live in harmony side-by-side.

Of all the things I can imagine…

like a world where eating ice cream every day won’t make you fat…

a world where people have no imagination….

No…I just can't imagine that.
