Imagination Is Fun

Let's all take a trip to the moon Go star hopping while whistling a tune Travel through time, forward or reverse Visit new worlds in another universe Then return in the blink of an eye Imagine a sub going deep in the ocean An underwater world where everything is slow motion Gaze at the mountains that once breathed fresh air Valleys covered with flowers and life everywhere Now frozen in time a living tomb of the past Inhabited by strange creatures, a sci-fi movie cast Sunken ships of adventurers, reminders of wars Lost treasures, such beauty and fathoms more We're surfacing, please blink your eyes Let's walk the tight wire of love to the heart One side is bright, the other is dark A major attraction on the virtual tour We could stay here for days and talk, I'm sure The heart is the jukebox, if you will Songs it plays depends how you feel Happy songs, sad songs, even songs of violence Occasionally we unplug it and sit in silence Time to go, just blink your eyes Now look into the abyss of despair We rarely like to go there Where time is consumed by the jackals of depression And hopelessness thrives on dangerous obsessions Hurry along, just blink your eyes Take a break, relax, we're nearing the end Last stop, are you ready shall we begin Back to reality, right here, right now Just close your eyes and look around The incomparable brain of the human being It all starts here, what you're feeling or seeing One can go anywhere, do anything, be anyone, be anything or go everywhere, do everything, be everyone, or everything The vastness of the mind has no ceiling or floor Set it free, let it wander, to worlds unexplored an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner

I'd like a ticket on your ride, Daniel, but there are a couple of stops where I'll just stay onboard. Great write!

No old age talk, Daniel. If we're using our imagination, age does not matter. ;)

Thank you, Lin. No ticket required. You may get off or stay on at your pleasure, The imagination is a special place where old folks like myself never have to feel their age.
