The Minds' Eye

Thank heaven for my imagination It's given me quite alot Danced me through many a situation Saved me from battles fought Within my mind lies beauty and grace Splendor in this world No need to condemn or ever debase My fist remains uncurled Through the window of my eye I find such wondrous things! I smell the salty tide flow by Skip along Saturns' rings I've visited lots of exotic lands Built toys with Santas' elves Played in many rock and roll bands Conversed with dolls on shelves Through the imaginings of my mind I'm driving a fancy car Or maybe I'm being wined and dined By a famous movie star Imagination's an awesome thing So much that you can do Fly away on an angel wing If only you've a mind to!

Ps. Smile ~ Oh, "Yes," &, if "Lovely Carolyn Devonshire" can dream about Brad Pitt then, I can surely dream about, "Beautiful Winona Ryder!!!" ~ Smile, "Bye Again 'Dear, Lovely Deb Wilson!'":) ~

Smile ~ I love "Your Splendors" second stanza I believe the most although, the entire piece, is "A Beautiful Painting; 'Sooo Very Lovely;' A Fave'" ~ "Much Love & Warmth to You Always &, All You Love," John! ~ Smile, "Have A Very Blessed & Beautiful Tomorrow 'Dear, Lovely Deb Wilson,' Amid The Twain Candlelights Soft Glowings of, 'Beautiful Love;'" Bye, "Dear Precious Lady!":) ~

Smile ~ "I Really Truly Deeply Love This, 'Beautiful Poem, Dear Lovely Deb Wilson!!!'" ~ "Thank You" for stopping by today dear lady for, I was hoping one day that "Your Beauty" would ~ And "Yes," without the wonderous faith of "A Beautiful Child" that All things can be then, how can We behold the hope of "A Promise" ~ Smile, I hope that "Your Treasures" are enjoying either a glorious day & or evening or, beautiful dreams, filled with beautiful scenes ~ ....Cont:)

We didn't have a lot of material things when I was a kid, Deb, but my sister and I used our imaginations to the fullest. Now about that mvie star -- do you think you could send Brad Pitt my way, or should I just conjure up a clone in my own imagination? Enjoyed your upbeat poem! Love, Carolyn
